🌿Fragrant herbs like thyme, mint, and rosemary for calming and invigorating scents
🌷Colourful edible flowers and varied leaves for visual interest
🍓Tasty herbs, berries, and veggies for experimenting with flavour

🖤💛 Today is R U OK? Day 🖤💛

Sometimes, a simple question can open the door to a conversation that really matters.

Today is a reminder to check in with the people around us – not just today, but any day. Ask “Are you OK?”, take the time to listen, and let them know they’re not alone. 💬

You don’t need to have all the answers. Simply making time, listening with care and staying connected can make a meaningful difference.

So today, take a moment to check in with a friend, family member, colleague or someone in your community.

Ask R U OK? Any Day – because a conversation could change a life. 💛

This week is National Child Protection Week.

This year’s theme, 'Every Conversation Matters, Shifting Conversation to Action', reminds us that while conversations can spark ideas, build understanding and encourage reflection, meaningful change happens when we turn those conversations into action.
By listening, sharing ideas, supporting families and strengthening our communities, we can all take practical steps to help prevent harm and create safer environments for children.
Together, we can help build communities where every child feels heard, valued, safe and supported. 💛

Because every conversation matters - and every action can make a difference. 👣

Bullying No Way: National Week of Action 💜

This week we're recognising Bullying No Way: National Week of Action, encouraging children to learn about kindness, respect and inclusion from an early age.
By talking about bullying before it happens, we can help children recognise unkind behaviour, build empathy, and know who to turn to if they ever need support.

Try asking your child:
💜 What do you think bullying means?
💜 Have you ever seen someone being left out?
💜 Who would you talk to if something was worrying you?
💡 Learn more about what bullying is,and what it isn’t: https://www.bullyingnoway.gov.au/understand/
