Meet the faces of Wiradjuri Preschool

Nestled in the middle of the University of Canberra Bruce campus, Wiradjuri Preschool and Child Care is home to some of the youngest members of the UC family. It also hosts pre-service teachers from the Bachelor of Education Early Childhood Program, who are honing their skills along with the Director, Educational Leader, Preschool Teacher and Assistant Teacher.

Wiradjuri encourages a sense of belonging for all who walk through the gates, with a focus on promoting a curriculum that is gender inclusive, recognises our society as multicultural and promotes social justice.
