✨️Playgroup Spotlight | Be My Village Playgroup ✨️

Looking for a welcoming space where both you and your little one can connect, play and belong?

💛 Be My Village Playgroup in Camp Hill is a supportive, community-led playgroup where families with babies and young children come together through connection, play and shared experiences.

It's a place where mums and caregivers can build friendships, share the ups and downs of parenting, and feel supported, while children explore, play and develop friendships of their own.

From creative and playful activities to engaging sensory experiences, each session offers plenty of opportunities for little ones to learn, discover and have fun in a relaxed and nurturing environment.

Throughout the term, the group also hosts special themed play days that are shared on their page.

🌈 At Be My Village Playgroup, inclusion, belonging and community are at the heart of everything they do because when it comes to raising children, it really does take a village.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the Wave Hill Walk Off

In 1966, Gurindji stockmen, domestic workers and their families walked off Wave Hill Station, led by Vincent Lingiari, in a stand for fair wages, better conditions and, ultimately, land rights. The Gurindiji people set up a camp at Daguragu for nearly 9 years (also known as Wattie Creek), requesting the government return some of their land.

The Gurindji strike helped to make the Australian public aware of First Nations land ownership claims. It also influenced the first legislation in Australia that allowed First Nations peoples to apply for ownership of their traditional lands, the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976.

Stories like the Wave Hill Walk-Off are an important part of our history, and music can be a powerful way to share them with children.

Paul Kelly's 'From Little Things, Big Things Grow' tells the Gurindji story and helps bring history to life, creating opportunities to talk about courage, fairness, respect and the importance of standing up for what is right.
