Tully Community Preschool & Kindergarden: Give notice of Intention to Branch with C&K

TULLY COMMUNITY PRESCHOOL & KINDERGARDEN

WE would like to inform you of some exciting changes to our kindergarten program. Following on from the discussion at the past committee meetings, careful consideration and extensive consultation with past management committees and staff, we have decided to APPLY to transition from our current AFFILIATE agreement with C&K Kindergarten to a BRANCHING agreement.

As a volunteer parent management committee, we need help with the time, pressure, and demands of running a kindergarten, which is a complex small business, and we find it difficult to recruit parents to volunteer their time and skills. To ease this burden, we have begun the process to branch, which would significantly reduce risk and provide increased benefits to parents, staff, and most importantly, the children.

We believe this transition will allow us to continue to provide our children with the best possible learning environment, and we are excited about the opportunities it will provide. Should our application be successful, C&K will hold a community consultation meeting detailing more information about branching and answering any questions you may have. We will keep you informed about the progress of this initiative, and we welcome any feedback or questions you may have.

Thank you for your ongoing support of our kindergarten program.

What’s the Voice referendum about?

It’s about whether we should change the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by setting up an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. A referendum is the only way to change the Australian Constitution.

What is the Voice?

The Voice would be a permanent body that gives independent advice to the Australian Parliament and Government on matters that affect First Nations people.

How will the Voice be set up?

Empowering women through education and health is a priority for the Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA). The QCWA Country Kitchens program, funded by the Queensland Government through Health and Wellbeing Queensland, supports Queenslanders to adopt healthier lifestyles.

The Voice aims to help the Parliament and Government to make better decisions and deliver better outcomes for First Nations people.

How it’s set up would be determined after the referendum with input from First Nations people, the broader public and the Government. The Parliament would then make a law to set up the Voice.

The intention is that its members will be chosen by and representative of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from across Australia.
