How exciting!

We are so pleased to see our kindy’s collaboration with the Tea Tree Gully Council coming to life at Silverlake Reserve.

From watching the trees being removed in a much-loved space, to being part of the conversation about how it could be restored, looking at plans, and then seeing the workers bring the area back to life - it truly has been a journey. It has been wonderful for the children to witness this process and now see the space becoming somewhere we can enjoy again.

We are so proud to be part of a project that supports children’s learning, connection to community and country, and care for shared spaces.

Nature is a big part of life at Dernancourt Kindy. Learning in natural environments enhances academic success, inspires creativity and strengthens problem-solving skills. Time outdoors boosts physical health, supports mental wellbeing and fosters social connections and positive lifelong attitudes towards caring for our environment.

After watching the trees being cut down and taken away from the reserve next door, the children began important conversations: “Where will the birds live?” and “When will there be more trees to climb?” These thoughtful questions sparked engagement with the local council, and working with the local high school, the children used the opportunity to share their thoughts- describing, drawing and sharing their ideas for the renewed reserve.

We’re proud to announce that, beginning in the April holidays, landscaping works and replanting will commence on Silverlake Drive. We look forward to watching our children’s ideas - and the new nature space - come to life!
