We have approximately 20 children graduating this year and although we may have to do things a little different this year, it’s still going to be just as special.

17.01.2022 My Heart breaks today for our Ancestors, our elders and family members who are still out there finding their way home. Between 1910-1970, Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families as a result of various government policies. The generations of children removed under these policies became known as 'the Stolen Generations'. Today, Tuesday 26 May 2020, is National Sorry Day. It is the National Day of Healing for our Stolen Generations. Our longest living cul...ture in the world is still waiting for our stolen children, our lost children to come home. As a young one, I'll be waiting too. You're always in my prayers. #SorryDay Rikita Slater Birrelee Educator

12.01.2022 Just a few photos from our tie dying on Tuesday. We had so much fun making these with children.

Don’t forget families, wear your colours proud tomorrow for our Red, Black, Yellow and Deadly Day. Also want to remind everyone that our BBQ at Bunnings is on Saturday, 9am-4pm

04.01.2022 For the first time since I can remember, Birrelee staff and children were unable to attend our local protest/march during NAIDOC Week. We pride ourselves on teaching children about culture and history. We believe that advocacy for Aboriginal rights and culture starts from birth and we support our children’s right to be heard. These little Birrelees are our future leaders and we will endeavour to give them the knowledge, understanding and support to continue to advocate for our people and culture. Today we marched with pride as we walked our bike track at Birrelee. With Uncle Paulie leading us, we gave our children a voice and share it now with you all to hear
