our stories
Celebrating Rainbow Rescues
At Currumbin Village our children helped rescue and care for several distressed Rainbow Lorikeets. With the help of Currumbin Wildlife Hospital all 4 lorikeets were rehabilitated and reintroduced back into their local habitat. The children affectionately called this mission – ‘the Rainbow Rescues’.
To celebrate ‘Rainbow Rescues’ and the kind actions of our children, educators and the community, we have hidden 4 ornamental rainbow lorikeets in our bush tucker garden. The location of these birds change most days, delighting children as they attempt to spot the lorikeets.
Welcome home Gordon koala.
Kevin and borabi Koala missed you
Our children and educators along with Kevin and Borabi Koala would like to welcome home Gordon Koala. Currumbin Wildlife Sancturay rescued, rehabilitated and housed Gordon back into our Currumbin Village bushland reserve, located at the back of the centre. It is absolutely heart warming to see the children’s excitement as they spot their wildlife friends up the trees.
During book week, Shereice our centre manager, dressed as Kevin Koala based on a book called the Koala Who Could. For this reason the children named our first sighted koala, Kevin. On the day this photo was taken, the Wildlife Sancturay Hospital visited our centre to track Gordon Koala who lives in our bushland reserve. Another loved koala we often see is Borabi.
Worm Farm
Our worm farm is a valuable active learning experience that encourages lifelong appreciation of nature and the importance of sustainability. Working with worms to turn scraps and garden clippings into compost empowers children and steers them towards more sustainable choices. Families take home worm wee for their garden.
Our Bush Tucker Garden
For days we have been hearing little cheep, cheeps as we entered the Village door. Imagine our surprise and delight to discover three little chicks nesting in our bush tucker garden tree. During the year our little ones nurture and care for the edibles and flowers in the garden. Some prefer to balance on the stepping stones. Watch out for the little green frogs! A sign of a healhty ecosystem.
“May you my baby, follow the rivers, wander the mountains, and walk in the wild.”
