Giinagay!
Welcome to Bellingen Community Preschool.
We are a vibrant, not-for-profit, community preschool — a place of learning and connection since 1978.
We value curiosity and see children as active citizens that enrich our local community. We have the utmost respect for Gumbaynggirr Wajaar, culture and environment.
“Education is a right of all… and as such is a responsibility of the community.”
— Reggio Emilia, 1.1 Education is a right, (2009)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
Bellingen (Baalijin) Community Preschool acknowledges the traditional custodians of our country, our nation’s first people. We acknowledge their unique role in the life of this country and their rich, living culture. We aim to inspire our school and wider community to embrace reconciliation through our daily practice, reflective dialogue and education. The Wajaar (Land) on which we live, learn and play always was and always will be Gumbaynggirr Wajaar.
