Buzzing Bees Early Learning Centre

Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families.

They are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and our loved ones.

Our loved ones who pick us up in our low moments and celebrate us in our high ones. Who cook us a feed to comfort us and pull us into line, when we need them too.

They guide our generations and pave the way for us to take the paths we can take today. Guidance, not only through generations of advocacy and activism, but in everyday life and how to place ourselves in the world.

We draw strength from their knowledge and experience, in everything from land management, cultural knowledge to justice and human rights. Across multiple sectors like health, education, the arts, politics and everything in between, they have set the many courses we follow.

The struggles of our Elders help to move us forward today. The equality we continue to fight for is found in their fight. Their tenacity and strength has carried the survival of our people.

It is their influence and through their learnings that we must ensure that when it comes to future decision making for our people, there is nothing about us - without us.

We pay our respects to the Elders we’ve lost and to those who continue fighting for us across all our Nations and we pay homage to them.
Always has and always will be Aboriginal land.
Happy NAIDOC week

GREAT TIPS FOR BUILDING EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE IN KIDS

Good advice for parents, teachers and counselors!

With Australia Day occurring this week we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land on which we live.
This land always was and always will be Aboriginal land, and we pay our respect to the Elders past, present and future.
Australia Day represents and celebrates the colonisation of this beautiful land, but it also brings up a lot of pain for our Indigenous people. 235 years and still no justice.
Its important to not just acknowledge the land and people but to pro actively join them, use your voice and presence to unite, support and fight with them.

Contact us today to book a tour of our service and find out more about the fundamental learning and play opportunities we offer for children to get the best start.

Celebrate Diversity ❤️💛
