03.01.2022 This week we celebrate NAIDOC week and think about the meaning of the words "Always Was, Always will Be". At Mudgee Preschool all through the year we acknowledge the Wiradjuri people who are the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and play and we seek to build connections to Country and understanding of Aboriginal culture. We have regular excursions to the bush and parks around us and we delight in the many ways that children express their own connections to their favorite places.

Quotes from families: "I have a whole collection of plates my children have drawn over the years - they love looking at them and using them even now theyre older". "I still have mine from when I was a child - its a lovely memento!"
