Our Preschool children and educators worked together to create care packs to support families attending Indi Kindi, an early years education program for children in remote Aboriginal communities. The hygiene packs and a special doll were shipped then allocated to the children in a small outreach community called Mungkarta, 80km south of Tennant Creek. Many families in this isolated area face challenges accessing shops and essential resources especially during wet seasons as the road floods. These packs provide essential items that help young children learn and develop healthy habits at home. We were thrilled to receive word that the packs had arrived safely and the young learners in Tennant Creek and Mungkarta had a fun time creating thank you cards to send back. So thoughtful! This relationship has involved a learning exchange through the special doll that travelled from Willoughby to the city, then to Central Australia to foster social connections, teach the children about different perspectives to support holistic development and curiosity about different ways of living in the world.
