Today is Mabo Day, a day when we remember the cour Today is Mabo Day, a day when we remember the courage and commitment of Eddie Mabo and his wife, Bonita, in challenging the principle of terra nullius (empty land belonging to nobody), which allowed British colonists to take land without agreement or payment. Locals to both Mer Island in the Torres Strait and to Townsville, Eddie and Bonita were also dedicated to supporting education for all children, with Bonita co-founding the first Black Community School in Australia, where she worked as a teacher-aide. Their legal win remains a significant moment in Australian history, resulting in the recognition of Indigenous custodianship over their traditional land. In 2013, Bonita was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for distinguished service to human rights. 

Many Journeys by Nindi (Ros Sailor) of Waanji and Kuku Yalanji heritage, with the children of Lady Gowrie Kindergarten Headstart – Vincent, in Townsville.

Today is International Children’s Day….which f Today is International Children’s Day….which for us at Lady Gowrie Qld is EVERY DAY!! Often, children have a lot of decisions made for them, but just like adults, they love it when they get to make some decisions and take ownership. Their choice for brekky/dinner, their choice of fun activity for the family to enjoy. It empowers them, builds confidence, and helps shape their identity. So how are you celebrating Children’s Day today? (and tomorrow!)

One of the most important questions a child can as One of the most important questions a child can ask is: "Why?" It might seem small, but that one word is the start of something big. Asking “why” is one of the earliest signs of critical thinking, showing that a child is making connections, seeking understanding, and thinking deeply about the world around them.

It's important that we all celebrate curiosity - listen to children’s questions, explore answers together, and give them the space to wonder out loud.

Because every “why?” is a step toward becoming a confident, capable learner who isn’t afraid to think for themselves.

We are a not for-profit organisation providing high quality childcare and Kindergarten programs, with a strong heritage in early childhood education in Queensland and Australia.

The Brisbane Lady Gowrie Childcare Centre was established in 1940 as a demonstration centre for excellence in early childhood education and care. We continue to be Qld’s leading provider of Community Kindergarten and Long Day Care services and uphold the highest standards in childcare.

Lady Gowrie QLD acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which our Kindergarten and childcare services are placed, and pay our respects to the elders, past and present, who have raised children, taught them about the world around them and bestowed on them the gift of culture and language.
