Eight Mile Plains Community Children's Centre

During Reconciliation Week, our educators thoughtfully prepared a variety of engaging activities that celebrated and explored Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
Through storytelling, Indigenous art, music, nature-based experiences, and meaningful discussions, children had the opportunity to learn about Australia’s rich First Nations heritage.
Educators also explained the significance of these activities in an age-appropriate way, helping children develop respect, understanding, and appreciation for the importance of reconciliation, diversity, and caring for Country. These experiences supported children’s sense of belonging and encouraged them to value different cultures and perspectives from an early age.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our beautiful mums and mother figures! 🌷💕

Today at Eight Mile Plains Community Children’s Centre, we celebrated Mother’s Day with a special Afternoon Tea shared with our lovely families. The children were so excited to spend quality time with their mums, enjoying delicious treats, fun activities, and precious moments together.

The place were filled with laughter, smiles, warm hugs, and beautiful conversations as families joined in creating wonderful memories together. The children also proudly shared their handmade gifts and artwork to show how much they love and appreciate their mums. 💖

Thank you to all our amazing mums for your unconditional love, support, and care every single day. We hope everyone enjoyed this special afternoon with us and felt how truly appreciated you are. Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸

Our Kangaroo Kindy children enjoyed their very first excursion adventure to the wonderful Karawatha Discovery Centre 🦘🌿

Each year, we love taking our Kindy children out to explore the wonders of nature, and this year’s visit was extra special as it connected beautifully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.

The children experienced Indigenous art and painting 🎨, listened to stories, enjoyed songs and traditional instruments, and sat together on the yarning circle mat as they took part in each activity. They were completely engaged and loved every moment of the experience.

Afterwards, we explored inside the Discovery Centre, where the children discovered different ecosystems, weather changes, and the native animals that live in Australian forests. The displays were so realistic and exciting that the children were fascinated from beginning to end!

It was a wonderful day full of learning, curiosity and joy, and we are so proud of how beautifully the children participated in their first group excursion. ✨

A Special Visit from the Veterinarians 🐾

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming the wonderful veterinarians from Plus One Vet Sunnybank Clinic — Dr Leo and Dr Kevin — along with their lovely doggy friend Haru. The children were absolutely thrilled to meet them!

Dr Leo shared valuable knowledge about dog health and helped the children understand what veterinarians do in their daily work. It was a meaningful learning experience that introduced the children to the importance of caring for animals and keeping pets healthy.

In addition, we were joined by two more adorable dogs — Mocha and Hunter, belonging to Ms Li and Ms Lydia. Having these friendly dogs visit allowed the children to interact with them up close, which brought so much excitement and joy to everyone.

It was truly a fun, educational, and memorable experience for the children. We are very grateful to our special guests for taking the time to visit and share their knowledge with us.

Thank you for helping us create such a wonderful day! 🐶✨Plus One Vet
