23.01.2022 As of Monday the 19th of October 2020, Annett Street will be closed from for two months due to roadworks. All staff, parents and caregivers dropping children off will be required to park in the car park on Charles Street (off Tomakin Road) and walk their children along the pathway from the carpark to Annett Street. Please take care when walking as there will be heavy machinery used during this time.

18.01.2022 Today is beginning of #NAIDOC Week 2020 This years theme is Always Was, Always Will Be and it seeks to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people as Australia's first occupants, first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists. NAIDOC Week is a chance for all Australians to come together and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander achievements, cultu...re and history. Get the kids involved with this great NAIDOC week colouring poster or visit for more info and events: www.naidoc.org.au

16.01.2022 Learning and culture is at the heart of our preschool. We're embedding culture every day, recognising the skills and knowledge Aboriginal families have to share with children. Every morning starts with our very own acknowledgement to country song written in consultation with Mogo Elders and the Mogo Local Aboriginal Land Council. A reminder that where we meet and learn is Aboriginal land. Learning continues outside in the cultural garden with our children building their knowl...edge through yarns from Elders and special visitors. They sit in a yarning circle on the beautiful yarning mat for lessons as a way to build respectful relationships and communicate collaboratively. Our preschool Educators also use a message stick designed by local elder, Uncle Tom, to run their meetings. "When we have a meeting, staff use the message stick as a way of following the spirit of Dadirri (meaning deep listening). We pass the stick around and each have something to say rather than following an agenda"- Julie Farquhar-Nicol- Mogo Aboriginal Preschool Educator. The meeting stick is decorated with symbols chosen by staff members to represent how they envisage culture and the children's learning and education. #NAIDOCweek #alwayswasalwayswillbe
