🌱 Our children have been building on their gardening skills with Eva 🌱

Through care, patience, and hands-on learning, the children have been nurturing their own garden and were so excited to see their kale grow successfully! 🥬

They proudly harvested the kale and delivered it to the kitchen, where it was used to prepare part of their lunch — a wonderful full-circle moment of learning, sustainability, and connection to food. 🍽️💚

Sea of Hearts – Reconciliation Week ❤️

To honour Reconciliation Week, our service has been proudly taking part in the Sea of Hearts movement. All rooms have engaged in meaningful experiences throughout the week, celebrating through art, play, songs, and stories.

These experiences have provided opportunities for the children to reflect, connect, and learn about reconciliation in age-appropriate and creative ways, helping to build understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.

We are proud to see our learning community come together in such a thoughtful and heartfelt way. 🖤💛❤️

Learning through stories, symbols, and creativity ❤️💛🖤

Our Senior Preschool children engaged in a meaningful hands-on learning experience, exploring Indigenous stories and symbols through sand play. Using natural materials, the children carefully observed and then recreated the symbols, building their understanding through intentional and focused learning.

This sensory-rich experience supported cultural awareness, curiosity, and respectful engagement with Australia’s rich Indigenous histories and traditions.
