At Balnarring Kindergarten, we used the funds to assist in funding the Little Long Walk October 2022.
This involved the preschool working with the local primary school, Catholic school, and early learning centre. We contacted Essendon Football club to register for a little long walk. They sent First Nations Peoples to work with the children in creating banners. The children were Welcomed to Country by a Boon Wurrung person, they marched through the streets and then returned for several workshops – Indigenous games and dance.
At the end we all had a dance session. This project continued our relationships with First Peoples and their teachings. It made our learning visible to the community. It provided opportunity for several educational services to work collaboratively on including First Peoples voices into the curriculums. It strengthened relationships.
Thank you for assisting us with the costs in running this event.
