24.01.2022 Cool Fun with Bubbles. Make Bubble Snakes

23.01.2022 Today we celebrate and acknowledge National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day. This day is a time of celebration for the children and this years theme is We are the Elders of tomorrow, hear our voice. Last week Assistant Commissioner John Hammond, Indigenous Cadet Nikea Hall, Patient Transport Officer Tamieka Creed and Indigenous Paramedic Program Coordinator Trish Murray attended Koobara Kindy to donate bags and footballs painted in Indigenous designs ...to help us celebrate this special day. The bags contained native seeds, activity cards, crayons, and a book, No Way Yirrikipayi containing stories co-written by children from Melville Island. A BIG THANK YOU QAS for celebrating this day with us! We loved our gifts.

17.01.2022 On Wednesday 9th December, Koobara said goodbye to another bunch of staunch children. With their families, we celebrated, we laughed, we danced, we cried and we ate cake together! These babies are undoubtedly their ancestors' wildest dreams, and we here at Koobara were honoured to learn and play alongside them in 2020. ... You will be missed. THIS is Blak love. Living, breathing and healing in the community, together. #sovereigntyneverceded

16.01.2022 More stay at home ideas!

16.01.2022 An open letter to our followers... Here at Koobara we take our position as an educational and healing space very seriously. We consider teaching to be a deeply political act - undoubtedly influenced by the systems of power and knowledge production that exist in our modern colonised society. We attempt to decolonise our work frequently, and to centre our multiple ways of being SOVEREIGN Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, always. We know that our community supports u...s and our approach because they keep coming back - and have done so for 46 years. With that in mind, we need you, our broader online community, to know that Koobara ABSOLUTELY TAKES A STANCE in support of the global #BlackLivesMatter movement and the extremely critical calls for justice in response to the ongoing deaths of Blakfullas in police custody. #StopBlackDeathsInCustody Everyday, we SEE and LIVE the impact of the colonial state's repeated attempts to exert control over our Blak bodies. At Koobara, we intend to continue to do what we do best: listen, invest in, and EMPOWER the youngest members of our urban Blak community, along with their families. We will also continue to mobilise their often unheard voices and drive our agenda of BLAK LOVE! We hope to see you all at the MARCH on Saturday (or supporting in other important ways if you can't make it). If we don't fight for this now, what kind of future can the children of Koobara hope for? From your KOOBARA FAM
