This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of Bottle Brush educator, and preschool educational leader Lauren, who’s passion for reconciliation is inspiring. Congratulations Lauren, we are so proud of your work.

The Narragunnawali Awards are the first national awards program in Australia to recognise and celebrate educational environments implementing outstanding reconciliation initiatives—across the Government, Catholic and Independent sectors.

Finalist schools and early learning services are acknowledged for the ways in which they strengthen relationships, build respect, and provide meaningful opportunities in the classroom, around the school or early learning service, and with the community.
