25.01.2022 We are thrilled with the mural painted today by Scott Rathman from Rusted Tin - Contemporary Aboriginal Arts. The mural was designed by Scott following consultation he led with our children, families and educators and we are absolutely delighted with the result. The images send important messages about our children connecting to nature, our connection to the nearby River Torrens, nurturing and growth, belonging and opportunity. We'll share the whole story soon! This mural is the culmination of significant work in our centre this year on acknowledging Aboriginal culture and increasing our learning about our nation's First People. #alwayswasalwayswillbe

21.01.2022 The educators had a day together on Thursday to reflect on our program and how we can make it even better for children and families.

Now its time to start thinking and talking about our plans for 2021 document our goals.

20.01.2022 These elaborate and beautiful constructions have engaged a small group this morning. Their interest started yesterday and they have revisited it today adding lots of finer detail. They have worked together to plan their construction and their careful placement of the blocks has ensured structural integrity (for now!).
