Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day competition 2022 Winner
Uranquinty Preschool
At Uranquinty Preschool Dreaming means 'Yindyamarra'.
This Wiradjuri word meaning respect, has been shared with us through Aunty Tez (Wiradjuri woman Terrie O'Brien).
Aunty Tez uses 'Yindyamarra' when sharing her thoughts and stories about her culture.
She reminds us of how important it is to really listen and connect to culture through our hearts.
With Aunty Tez's guidance, we are learning language, singing songs, hearing stories and engaging in art that helps us to connect holistically to Aboriginal culture.
Aunty Tez hopes the children of Uranquinty Preschool, will continue to grow and build on their understanding of the culture that means so much to her.
