Sea of hands

Community unity

Columbia Park Preschool located on Bunurong Country and in the City of Monash, extends their commitment to embed Indigenous Perspectives beyond the walls of the kindergarten.

In the lead-up to Reconciliation Week in May 2024, they joined with Waverley Meadows Primary School and the local community to create an impactful “Sea of Hands” symbolising solidarity with First Nations’ people.

Each hand was creatively coloured and decorated by children from the kinder and primary school, and then carefully planted in a display featuring the colours from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flags. The result was an impressive statement at the front of the kinder and an activity which brought the community together.

Across Y Kinders, through education and shared understanding, we’re working toward a future of respect, connection, and unity.
