Gurumba Bigi, Bush Kidz Blacksoil is located amongst the rural back drop of Blacksoil, allowing for a relaxed atmosphere and providing access to nature and incorporating the natural elements into our curriculum. As a committed team of qualified Educators, we pride ourselves on having trustworthy, friendly, and warm relationships that enable Children, educators, Families, and agencies alike to have a sense of belonging.
Here at Bush Kidz, we encourage all children to have a positive attitude by encouraging them to participate in learning experiences that focus on having a greener and more sustainable future. We do this through our veggie gardens and fruit trees that our children tend to by watering daily and wedding when necessary.
We engage in an active recycling journey by creating scrap buckets to feed our chickens, ducks and turkeys, compost bins and recycling. We encourage the children to limit water waste, this will assist children and educators to embed sustainable practices in all areas of our outdoor environment and into our daily curriculum.
We also have our wonderful ever growing menagerie allow the children to have an awareness of living creatures and also foster the children’s capacity to respect animals within our environment.
We strive to build a genuine connections with the “Jagera” people; the traditional owners of this land, encouraging sharing of traditions and cultures via interactive workshop. From these workshops, we have implemented a “Kippa” – bush tucker garden and created murals using Ochre that are displayed throughout the centre, this allows us to embed awareness of our country’s cultural heritage and traditions.
As role models we always model positive and good behaviour, we respect all of our children as individuals and embrace and celebrate their family culture and traditions.
