News Flash - Padstow

The children at JK Padstow have been involved in a range of learning experiences around NAIDOC week. The theme “Voice, Treaty, Truth: Lets work together for a shared future” has been embedded in these experiences with the children exploring a range of indigenous stories, music, instruments and art. The children have been very interested in the Aboriginal flag, it’s design and meaning. The educators and children worked together to make an artwork inspired by the Aboriginal flag which is now hanging in our foyer. While engaging in the artwork the children and educators spoke about the knowledge and culture of indigenous Australians and the importance of maintaining culture and language. We respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners of the many lands on which our centres are located. We also acknowledge the knowledge of the traditional owners and their contribution to the education of young children. Their story began long before ours.
