🌈🧠 LEADING THE WAY TOGETHER!

We are proud to celebrate the growing number of Ngukuthati team members who are now trained and accredited in the Rapid Neurodevelopmental Assessment (RNDA).

During a special visit to our centre in August, Wei and Jasmin from Griffith University joined us to recognise this achievement and present our newly accredited team members with their Tracking Cube shirts. 💛

Through our partnership with Griffith University and Tracking Cube, we now have accredited staff across both our Family Support and Playgroup teams.

🌻 What does this mean for our families?

The RNDA provides a strengths-based overview of how a child is developing across nine different areas. It can help us:

🧩 better understand a child’s developmental strengths and needs
🌱 recognise when some extra support may be helpful
🤝 have informed conversations with parents and carers
🛤️ connect families with appropriate developmental and health pathways
💛 begin providing practical support while families await specialist services

The RNDA is not about labelling children, and it is not a diagnosis. It helps us listen, observe and work alongside families so that children can receive meaningful support as early as possible.

We are incredibly proud of our team for building this capability within our centre and bringing developmental support closer to families in our community.

Thank you to Wei, Jasmin and the Griffith University Tracking Cube team for continuing to walk alongside us on this journey.

🌈 Early identification. Stronger pathways. Earlier support.

Strong Starts. Strong Families. Strong Futures.

🌻🧡 MEET THE TEAM! 🧡🌻

🌈 Say hello to our Ngukuthati Playgroup Team! 👋

Behind every little smile, every messy masterpiece, every song, story and playful adventure is a team of passionate people helping our littlest community members learn, grow and thrive! 🌱✨

At Ngukuthati Children & Family Centre, our Playgroup team creates a welcoming, culturally safe and nurturing space where children aged 0–5 can explore, discover, build friendships and develop confidence through play.

But Playgroup isn't just about the little ones! 💛

It's also a place where parents, grandparents and carers can connect, share stories, build friendships and feel supported along their parenting journey.

🌿 Because we know that play is so much more than just play!

Every song, yarn, story, giggle and game helps build the foundations for children's learning, wellbeing and development.

And our wonderful Playgroup team is there to walk alongside families every step of the way.

👏 Let's give our amazing Playgroup team a big shout-out for the love, creativity, patience and care they bring to our community!

💬 We'd love to hear from you!

What's your little one's favourite thing about coming to Ngukuthati Playgroup? Is it the songs, the activities, the friendships or something else?

Share your favourite Playgroup memories in the comments! 🥰

🌙✨ EVERY DAY COUNTS — AND EVERY NIGHT MATTERS TOO!

Can you believe we’re heading into Week 5 of Term 4?

We’ve reached the halfway stretch of our final school term—a lovely moment to pause, celebrate how far our children and families have come, and gently reset for the weeks ahead. 🌻

Take a moment tonight to notice what has been working:

💛 Has your child settled into a stronger morning rhythm?
🎒 Are bags and clothes being prepared the night before?
🛏️ Is bedtime beginning to feel calmer?
🌈 Has your child shown growing confidence at kindy or school?

It doesn’t need to be perfect. Every early night, prepared bag, calmer morning and day of learning is something worth celebrating.

If routines have become a little wobbly, tonight is an opportunity to choose just one small reset:

📱 Wind down screens a little earlier
👕 Lay out tomorrow’s clothes
🥪 Prepare the lunchbox and water bottle
⏰ Check alarms and transport arrangements
💬 Talk positively about the week ahead

Small, consistent steps help children feel secure, connected and ready to learn.

If transport, enrolment or family pressures are making attendance difficult, please have a yarn with our friendly Ngukuthati team. We may be able to help you explore some practical support.

☎️ 07 4743 2900

🌈 Halfway through and still growing strong together.

Every Day Counts. Every Night Matters Too.

Strong routines. Strong starts. Strong futures.

🚲🌻 LITTLE BIKES WANTED – BIG OPPORTUNITIES! 🌻🚲

Have you got a little bike sitting in the shed, collecting dust?

Our Ngukuthati Men’s Shed Bike Refurbishment Project is looking for donations of smaller children's bicycles, particularly bikes suitable for children around 6–8 years old. 💛

Maybe your little one has outgrown their first bike, or you've got one tucked away that just needs a little TLC.

Rather than letting it gather dust, why not give it the opportunity for a second life? ♻️🚲

Through our developing Bike Refurbishment Project, we're looking to bring old bikes back to life while creating opportunities for hands-on learning, practical skills, mentoring and community connection.

🔧 Bikes needing minor repairs are welcome for consideration!

Our Men’s Shed Coordinator, Gary Hartman, returns on Tuesday, 3 November, and we'd love to hear from families who may have a little bike they'd be happy to donate.

📞 Have a bike to donate?

Please contact Ngukuthati Children & Family Centre on 07 4743 2900 and ask for Gary.

Please give us a call before dropping bikes off, so we can discuss whether they're suitable and arrange collection or drop-off.

🌻 Little bikes. Big possibilities. Stronger communities.

❤️ DAY FOR DANIEL 2026 – KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE ❤️

📅 Friday 30 October 2026

❤️ Today, we wear RED for Daniel. ❤️

Today, Ngukuthati Children & Family Centre joins communities across Australia in honouring the memory of Daniel Morcombe and standing together for something that matters deeply to us all – the safety, wellbeing and protection of our children.

Day for Daniel is more than wearing red. It is a reminder of the important role we each play in helping children feel safe, supported, heard and empowered.

❤️ We were incredibly privileged to recently welcome Bruce Morcombe, Daniel's father, to Ngukuthati. His visit was a meaningful opportunity to connect, reflect and strengthen our shared commitment to child safety.

Through the tireless work of Bruce and Denise Morcombe and the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, Daniel's legacy continues to inspire conversations, education and positive change in communities across Australia.

🌈 Three simple words carry a powerful message:

🛑 RECOGNISE – When something doesn't feel safe.

💛 REACT – Take action to seek safety.

🗣️ REPORT – Tell a trusted adult.

At Ngukuthati, we believe every child deserves to grow up feeling safe, loved, connected to family, culture and community, and confident that their voice matters.

Whether we are parents, carers, grandparents, educators or community members, we all have a part to play in creating a safer future for our little people.

❤️ Today, we remember Daniel.

❤️ We honour his family and their remarkable dedication.

❤️ And we stand together in our commitment to keeping children safe.

Because every child matters. Every voice matters. And every child deserves to feel safe. ❤️

🚧🌈 WATCH THIS SPACE! EXCITING THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT NGUKUTHATI! 🌈🚧

Our Ngukuthati Children & Family Centre outdoor space is still undergoing some exciting upgrades, and while construction continues throughout Term 4, we're looking forward to the wonderful new space that will eventually welcome our children, families and community! 💛

But here's the good news… construction hasn't stopped us from finding creative ways to keep our programs going! 🥰

🌻 So, what does this mean for Term 4?

🏡 We're taking Playgroup into the community! Our little people are continuing to enjoy opportunities to play, explore, learn and connect at different locations around Mount Isa.

🚌 Transport support continues! We're helping families get to our off-site program locations so they can continue participating.

🌳 New places, new adventures! From our beautiful local parks to welcoming community venues, we're making the most of the wonderful spaces available around us.

💛 A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS!

We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Outback at Isa and the Mount Isa City Council Library for welcoming our Playgroup families and helping us continue delivering our programs while construction is underway.

Your generosity, flexibility and community spirit mean so much to our team and, most importantly, to the families we support. ❤️

🌈 Same caring team. Same strong programs. Just a few different places to play!

We'll continue keeping everyone updated as construction progresses and as more information becomes available about when we can return to our outdoor space.

In the meantime, please keep an eye on our page for weekly Playgroup locations, activities and updates.

🚧✨ WATCH THIS SPACE… A BRIGHTER OUTDOOR PLAY AREA IS ON ITS WAY!

💛 Strong Starts. Strong Families. Strong Futures.
