Did you know that a brand-new playground is being planned for George Burnett Park, just down the road from Gowrie Early Learning Karawara?

When our team spotted the City of South Perth’s invitation for community feedback, we saw a wonderful opportunity to make sure our children’s voices were heard too.

After connecting with the City, our educators supported the children to share their ideas through conversations, drawings and a little imagination. They explored what they love doing when visiting parks and playgrounds and shared the equipment, activities and features they would love to see in the new space.

On Monday, Charlotte from the City of South Perth met with our wonderful educator, Yaya, to collect our little learners’ drawings and ideas, which will help inform the planning of this exciting new space.

A huge thank you to Charlotte and the City of South Perth for welcoming our children’s perspectives and making sure our youngest community members have the opportunity to contribute to a space they will enjoy.

We can’t wait to see how the plans develop and look forward to many adventures at the new playground! 🛝 🤩

🐜 The On Country Ants continue to make their way across the Nullarbor, travelling to each of our Gowrie services, where children and educators will share their stories and wonder together about their incredible journey of nearly 3,500 kilometres, the places they may have visited, the things they may have seen, and the adventures they’ve had along the way.

Since setting off, the ants have travelled from Victoria, through South Australia, and have now crossed the border into Western Australia. They’re getting closer and closer to their new Gowrie homes!

Yesterday, one of their favourite stops was the
magnificent cliffs of the Great Australian Bight. What a beautiful sight, and quite the view for a little group of ants making their way across the country!

Our heartfelt thanks to Aunty Denise and Monique from Cultural Canvas for bringing On Country Ants to life, and what a life and adventure they are already having! ❤️

And to Awe & Wonder, thank you 🙏

These stunning ants are making their way across the Nullarbor, to each Gowrie service. The ants are the amazing work of Aunty Denise Proud, a Koa and Kuku Yalanji women with strong ties to Cherbourg and Wakka Wakka Country.
Members of our Gowrie team had the absolute privilege of meeting and speaking with Aunty Denise and her daughter, Monique, at the recent Early Childhood Australia Conference in Melbourne. It was so much more than a meet, greet and chat. It was a conversation that openly and passionately shared cultural knowledge, inspired curiosity, and created connection.
Bringing these ants across Australia, on Country, is deeply meaningful, and sparks so many ideas for when they arrive in our centres. We look forward to listening to, and gathering, the children’s ideas and voices, and documenting what they think the ants saw, ate, where they may have visited, and how they worked together to make there way across 3,350 kilometres to meet them. We look forward to sharing the cultural significance of the ants.
Heartfelt thanks to Aunty Denise and Monique for the time you spent with us, for sharing your story and the story of the ants, and for the stunning artwork you placed on some very special resources for us. We are forever grateful ❤️.
And to our wonderful friends at Awe & Wonder, thank you so much for always sourcing and providing incredible ethical and cultural resources that absolutely rock our socks 🥰

Yesterday, the little learners of the Djilba Learning Studio at Gowrie Early Learning Karawara visited Alpha Dental at Village Green Perth to learn more about their teeth, why we visit the dentist and the importance of good oral health. 🦷🪥

The children began their learning journey by practising their road safety skills as they made their way across the road and into Village Green. They remembered to look right and left before crossing, listened carefully to their educators and followed instructions along the way.

Once they arrived, our little learners eagerly joined in group discussions with the dentists, asked questions, explored the dental room and took turns sitting in the dentist chair. They also learnt about how best to care for their teeth, the importance of good oral hygiene and how small everyday habits can help keep their teeth and bodies healthy and strong!

Wow Djilba children, what an amazing opportunity to connect with our local community while building lifelong skills. 😁

A big thank you to the team at Alpha Dental for welcoming our little learners so warmly, for taking the time to talk with them and making the experience so engaging and meaningful. We really value these community connections and the wonderful learning opportunities they create for our children.

It is a privilege to have Gowrie WA delegates attending the Early Childhood Australia 2026 National Conference in Melbourne.

This year’s theme, ‘Holding the Past, Creating the Future’, resonates strongly with Gowrie WA. With a history spanning more than 85 years, we are proud to have stood the test of time while continuing to evolve, learn and look to the future.

We recognise, acknowledge and deeply respect every educator, team and Board member, child and family who has been part of our journey and helped shape the Gowrie WA of today.

Our delegates are making the most of every moment of the conference, learning, reflecting, developing and connecting with others from across the early childhood sector, and bringing new ideas and inspiration back to our teams and communities.

We are proud to honour our past while continuing to create the future for children, families and communities ❤️
