Welcome to
Jesmond Early
Education Centre

Our Service

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we stand today, the Awabakal, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging.

We recognise the ongoing connection that Indigenous people have to the land and the

importance of their cultural heritage to the community.

Children voices

The people from a long time ago, the past, the present,

along with the babies, the trees and the kangaroos who own the land we play on.

We say Nunda Kumba.

Awabakal Acknowledgement made by the voices of the children in 2017.
