Reconciliation has featured in the Early Learning Centre at this time. The children have discussed what “Reconciliation” means with many interesting answers
- Makes things better
- Tell the truth of the Aboriginal people
- Walking (together with courage)
- About the Kaurna
- Aboriginals
Even some adults have difficulty with a definition; I think our children have done a really good job capturing the essence of “Reconciliation”.

Many experiences were offered – foot printing, flag making, experimenting with lemon myrtle leaves and the playdough, using clay and reading dreamtime stories.
The children from the Purple and Yellow rooms have written their own Kaurna acknowledgement of Country.
We live and play on Kaurna land,
We thank you Kaurna people,
We will look after the land we share
And the animals and the people,
Hello sky,
Hello me,
Hello friends
