As part of our National Reconciliation Week this year, we are encouraging all our families and staff to wear yellow one day this week to raise funds for a First Nations organisation, Children’s Ground. The National Reconciliation Week theme for 2023 is ‘Be a voice for generations.’ This theme encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives – where we live, work and play. That is why we have chosen to participate in Children’s Ground’s ‘Wear It Yellow’.

In addition to this, the Seeds and Seedlings rooms have created a beautiful mixed-media art piece in recognition of the initiative. We believe that children of all ages should be able to engage with themes of Reconciliation and celebrate our diverse communities.

If you are able, please donate what you can to Children’s Ground via this link: https://wearityellow.org.au/o/wingate-avenue-childrens-co-operative

If you are not able to donate, you can like this post and Wingate Avenue will match the number of likes with dollar donations!
