About our kindy
Welcome to Gundala Community Kindergarten. Gundala is currently a one-unit Kindergarten which was set up in 1977 in response to the commitment and activism of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents who wanted their children to have the same access to early childhood education that was afforded to other children. Located on Quandamooka Country for the last 30 years, Gundala is an affiliate of Crèche and Kindergarten Association and is governed by a voluntary parent management committee.
Gundala is growing into our vision of being a blueprint for inter-generational success. We get to be powerful contributors to our community by offering early childhood services which holistically responds to the needs and aspirations of our little children and families, a place embedded within cultural knowledge systems that are guided by our Ancestral wisdom, empowered by the needs of our children, ad inspired by the aspirations of out families.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Gundala kindy receives support from C&K as the Central Governing Body but operates as an independent incorporated association, managed by a volunteer management committee. Centres affiliated with C&K receive comprehensive support in governance including managing kindergarten and inclusion funding, training for committees and educators, advice, and support regarding inclusion, use of the C&K brand, curriculum approach and resource materials.
