Families are the true experts on their children, and we value their personal and cultural knowledge and experiences. At the end of term 1 our project morning was full of chatter and curiosity from families diving into the explorations and interests that have developed.

Last year children, educators and families reimagined our sandpit area. It is now complete, a space where children can interact with the elements, tell stories, honouring what came before and ways Country can be reflected respectfully.

We welcome families in our local community to join us Thursday mornings this term in week 2,3,4,6,7,8 and 9 for playgroup.
