ELC NEWS

Exciting news… construction on our sensory garden, in between the ELC and the primary school, has finally begun!  The children have been keenly watching the fences go up and the big digging equipment arrive. Some of the ELC carpark will be closed off to allow access for trucks. Please use the carpark in the primary school if spaces are full in the ELC. The project is scheduled to take approximately 4-6 weeks to complete, and we apologise for any inconvenience during this time.

Mura Gadi

This term we begin Mura Gadi, our bush learning program. Mura Gadi means ‘pathways for searching’ in the Ngunnawal language. Each session begins with an Acknowledgement of Country, honouring Ngunnawal land and embedding Indigenous perspectives in a meaningful, child-friendly way. Children will explore and connect with the diverse natural spaces within our local community, deepen their connection to country, and develop an appreciation for the natural world around them. Through these walks, they will also explore our local community—its paths, places, and stories—building a strong sense of belonging and respect for the land we learn and play on. The program will take place every Tuesday for Turtles and Stingrays, and Thursdays for the Lobsters. Children are welcome to bring gumboots.

Resource Fee Term 3 and 4

Following funding from the ACT Government under the Preschool Reform Agreement, we will not be charging the Term Resource Fee ($85) for Terms 3 or 4. The funding aims to support children attending preschool in a variety of ways including fee relief.
