Out of School Hours Care

Servicing our traditional homelands of South East Queensland and North East New South Wales

We provide Aboriginal Cultural Incursions and visits to ‘Out of School Hours Care’ facilities and schools in South East Qld and North East NSW.

“Our cultural learning incursion programs are filled with skills such as critical and creative thinking, communication and collaboration, they also help develop non-cognitive skills like self-confidence and teamwork”.

Our aim is to leave these young people with a broader understanding and appreciation of Australian Aboriginal culture and an experience containing new knowledge and skills.

Development of cultural understanding starts at an early age with knowledge increasing as children are exposed to concepts, learning visits, knowledge sharing and centre and community events. We aim to promote shared understanding, recognition, respect, and reconciliation for future generations. Assisting your educators to support all students and work towards closing the gap in education outcomes. Your students get to engage first hand with the stories and knowledge of the oldest continuous culture on earth. Inclusion of this content in early development prepares children for new learning at school and beyond. For your educators a historical understanding of the Australian Aboriginal story is key in being able to comprehend current affairs and issues that affect Aboriginal people today.

We can provide generic and specialised cultural incursions to suit your requirements.

Regarding Incursion Bookings and Cancellations

READ CAREFULLY

If a booking is made in advance by a school teacher or any school employee, and then they leave that school and do not inform the school about our incursion booking, the booking is still deemed current until cancelled by their replacement teacher or by someone from that school. We have no idea of who comes and goes from your school, or whether or not they have told others about their booking, therefor the incursion fee must be paid in full, see below.

IMPORTANT: Please Read carefully

Teachers when you make a booking with us you need to cc your Deputy Principle or Principle into the booking request so that we know that they are aware of your booking.
