Koobara Kindy

On Mabo Day, we remember Eddie Mabo and his fight for justice for Australia’s First Nations peoples. His courage helped change history.

Eddie Mabo showed us that understanding and respect can lead to a better future. We hope this day starts conversations at home and in community, helping our Jarjum learn about resilience, respect, and the incredible contributions of First Nations peoples.

Mabo Day marks the 1992 High Court decision that recognised Native Title in Australia, overturning terra nullius—the idea that no one lived here before European settlement and colonisation. Thanks to Eddie Mabo and others who stood up for what’s right, we move forward with greater knowledge and appreciation of First Nations histories. 🖤💛❤️ 💙🤍💚

Hi Playgroup Families, just a quick note to let you know there will be no playgroup this week.

Hey My Deadly Playgroup Families,

At this stage, playgroup is still going ahead tomorrow, Wednesday 27th May.

** We’ll aim to run it in the shed, if possible, but please note that parents will be responsible for supervising their children. **
However, with the weather we’re expecting this afternoon and tomorrow, that may change.
As Reconciliation Week approaches, this week’s activities will be dedicated to helping create art for the Sea of Hearts Movement and ways we can decorate the Playgroup Area.

Morning tea is provided, and we have transport available within our catchment area.

Keep an eye out on our page for each week's activities and contact Jess on 07 3265 7171 or 0452 081 477 for more information or to book transport.

🖤💛❤️ National Sorry Day- May 26th 2026 💚💙🤍

National Sorry Day is a solemn and significant day, marking the resilience and strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have endured profound injustices. Recognising the Stolen Generations and their families is an essential step toward truth-telling and healing.

At Koobara, we stand in solidarity with our First Nations people. We acknowledge the strength of survivors, their families, and communities, and we commit to learning, listening, and supporting the journey of truth and healing.

Playgroup Cancelled This Week

Unfortunately, due to the rainy weather and wet conditions in the area, playgroup is cancelled for tomorrow. I apologies to all playgroup families for this inconvenience.

Hope to see you all next week!

Welcome to our learning community Melissa!

☔ Playgroup Cancelled This Week ☔

Due to the rainy weather today and tomorrow, playgroup is cancelled.

Thanks for your understanding, we’ll see you next week! 💙

Koobara will be participating in the Sea of Hearts Movement again this year. Koobara invites all families and community that attend the Kindy to write your thoughts on a heart and/ or decorate it with love, respect, and hope. Let’s come together to build a future that values unity and understanding.

Sea of Hearts Movement
National Reconciliation Week: 27 May – 3 June
Theme: All In

National Reconciliation Week is a time for us to come together, reflect on our shared history, and think about how we can all play a part in building a more respectful and inclusive future.

This year’s theme, All In, reminds us that reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility. It invites each of us to listen, learn, and take action big or small to strengthen relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community.

The Sea of Hearts Movement is a meaningful way to show that we are all in. By creating hearts, we make our commitment visible and start important conversations about care, respect, and belonging.

Attention Koobara Kindy and Playgroup Families!!

You're invited to join us for a heartwarming Mother’s Day Morning Tea
