🌊🦑 We’re so proud to announce that our kindy is part of the Open Air Gallery, a community art project celebrating Whyalla’s famous cuttlefish! Our children’s amazing artwork is now on display at the Whyalla Jetty alongside creations from other local schools and children’s centres.

A huge thank you to our wonderful educators, families, and of course our talented children for getting involved! It’s fantastic to see their creativity recognised and celebrated as part of Cuttlefest.

And the excitement continues—tomorrow we will welcome a visit from the Sparkles the inflatable cuttlefish to officially kick off Cuttlefest at kindy! 🦑 We can’t wait to keep learning about these incredible sea creatures and have some fun together.

Thank you to Whyalla City Council for making this event so special.
