Lady Forster Kindergarten

It was such a privilege to welcome Aboriginal artist Merindah-Gunya Art (Bayley Mifsud), a proud descendent of Peek and Kirrae Whurrong clans of the Maar nation, to work with our children on a collaborative art piece for each of our kindergarten rooms.

Bayley shared indigenous symbols which tell a story through her paintings and the children worked with her collaboratively to paint their own 'LFK story'.

It was wonderful to see the children delight in learning alongside Bayley to understand more about her practices and culture.

These paintings will be hung in each of our kindergarten rooms as a gift from our current LFK children to future LFK children as part of our Centenary Celebrations.

Thank you Bayley for your incredible storytelling and teaching. Your passion certainly inspired our children - and all of us! These paintings are so special and will be loved for years to come. ✨🧡🩷

✨ Oh what a night! ✨

A huge THANK YOU to all our amazing LFK children and their families - both past and present - for celebrating with such sparkle and style last Friday night for our Centenary Party!

We hope you enjoyed celebrating the incredible 100 years of LFK as much as we did. There is no party like an LFK party! 🥳🤩

And a super special thank you to all our incredible raffle sponsors on the night! These wonderful local businesses were only too happy to support our little kinder and through their generosity, we raised almost $2,000 to go towards kindergarten improvements. 🙌🏼

We partied at the awesome: Elwood Sailing Club

Our incredible little kindergarten is turning 100 this year!

Join us as we celebrate the significant impact Lady Forster Kindergarten has had for so many people over the last century.

From our humble beginnings in 1924 in a Salvation Army Hall in Port Melbourne, to where we are today on the beautiful Elwood foreshore.

This is a remarkable milestone in our kindergarten's history and we will have a number of events this year to mark this special 100-year milestone.

If you have a story or pictures to share about your time at Lady Forster Kindergarten – or know someone who does – please get in touch.
