💧 Makuru is upon us – the Noongar season of cold and rain, marked by the colour dark blue.
This is the wettest and coldest time of year in the South West. Traditionally, Noongar people moved inland during this season as waterways filled and food sources shifted to the land, especially kangaroos, which provided meat, skins (bookas), and tools.
Makuru also sees ravens pairing up, black swans nesting, and the first blooms of blueberry lilies and purple flags.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land and thank them for their enduring care of Country.

Meet our Youth Worker: Freyah! 🪻

Widely known as a natural “people person,” Freyah is always eager to lend a hand and can often be found volunteering whenever the opportunity arises. Her genuine passion, empathy, and charismatic presence have made her a valued member of the community, opening doors to meaningful connections and impactful involvement. Having already completed Certificates III and IV in Community Services, Freyah is now setting her sights on a Psychology degree at university, aiming to deepen her knowledge and continue making a positive difference in the lives of others.

🤝 National Reconciliation Week reminds us that

🤝 National Reconciliation Week reminds us that reconciliation is ongoing – not a moment, but a movement.
The 2025 theme, Bridging Now to Next, invites us to reflect on the past, act in the present, and walk together toward a better future.
At Blue Leaf, we are committed to learning from and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We honour their histories, cultures, and contributions and embed cultural respect across all we do.

This week, we reaffirm our role in reconciliation – by listening, learning and taking action.
Let’s bridge now to next – together.
