🌿 NAIDOC Week Community Excursion 🖤💛❤️

Today our children enjoyed a special walk to the City of Vincent Community Centre to attend the Ninni Ngingyaans (Little Echidnas) NAIDOC Week event.

Throughout the morning, we joined in singing songs in Noongar language, listened to engaging stories, and explored Aboriginal culture through hands-on experiences. The children loved using their fingers to create animal tracks before creating their own artworks inspired by Indigenous Australian animals.

As we walked back to the centre, we took the opportunity to slow down and connect with Country. We listened to the sounds around us, noticed the beauty of our surroundings, and had lots of fun exploring our shadows along the way.

These meaningful experiences help children develop an appreciation and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures while fostering curiosity, creativity, and a strong connection with the world around them.

Thank you to the City of Vincent Community Centre for hosting such a wonderful NAIDOC Week event. 🌿

Our Kindy children have been exploring self-portraits as part of our ongoing ‘All About Me’ project, which began during Harmony Week in March. This journey has taken us across countries, creating passports and celebrating our diverse backgrounds, and now to self-identity—discovering what makes each of us unique. The children have led their own learning and shaped our intentions, enjoying the creative process of using charcoal sticks and paint to express themselves through art. We love seeing their individuality shine!
