25.01.2022 It was like Christmas at the Centre today with a delivery of new equipment for our Children Our amazing educators spent the afternoon working on engaging and stimulating learning spaces for our outdoor environments. Have a look at our 0-3 year old yard

23.01.2022 Our Kinder 2 children over the past two weeks have had a very exciting visitor in their Classroom. A traveling mascot from the Koori Curriculum. The traveling mascots travel around Australia to different Early Childhood Centres visiting the children to share and celebrate the many different ways educators are including Aboriginal perspectives in their programs. Wominjeka (welcome) Bindi. The children were very excited to welcome her to the classroom and began straight away w...ith researching all about Bilbys and their habitats. This learning extended out to learn about many other Australian animals. The children then built Bindi a house by painting an old box with Aboriginal flag colours; red, yellow & black. The children also made sure to make a barrow as this is where bilbys like to live when they are in their own natural habitat. They continue to add to this as the two weeks went on. It has been wonderful to see the children engaging together socially, showing Bindi around our Centre both indoors and outdoors, through play and learning. Fazila has been intentionally teaching the children through group discussions on where Bindi lives as to where we live on the Australian Map, the children discovered that Bindi likes the warm climate and Victoria is cold for her and they needed to keep her warm. They learned about Aboringal animal symbols and spoke about how indigenous people used to write using natural materials. It has been wonderful to see the children engage and get involved in this project, the Kinder children would like to thank the Koori Curriculum for sending Bindi to us and allowing her to visit and giving us the opportunity to learn more about Aboriginal perspectives.

23.01.2022 Over the last few days our amazing educators have been busy transforming our classrooms and the learning environments for our children. The new spaces will allow for the children to explore, create, grow and learn with their friends and educators in a fun and inviting and educational way. Well done team, they are beginning to look fantastic and I cant wait for the children to scaffold their learning in their new environments ... Check out what is happened so far, there will be more photos to come as we continue to change spaces.

We just want to say a big thank-you to the wonderful firefighters for the tremendous work they are doing!
