Early career Indigenous language teaching

Children at Kulai Preschool regularly engage with Indigenous language and culture, through their teachers, Aboriginal organisations and the community. The teacher is early in her career, but already has strong community connections. Cultural knowledge and strong community relationships are highly valued at Kulai Preschool. Learning the local Indigenous language is a powerful way to build and support those connections.

Kulai Preschool is dedicated to the education of Indigenous children in the local area, including the teaching of the local Gumbaynggirr language. Kulai Preschool has a strong emphasis on community and pride in Indigenous heritage. Local elders have a strong involvement in the preschool, ensuring a truly community-based approach.
