    October 4, 2023

    Joyleen Bara Bara, our dedicated Umbakumba Early Childhood Educator, has been nominated in the "Outstanding Aboriginal Educator" category for the Northern Territory Education and Care Awards.


    The NT Education and Care Awards recognise the outstanding contributions of early childhood educators who consistently provide quality learning opportunities and show a deep commitment to the well-being of Northern Territory children and their families. 

    Joyleen recently attended the awards ceremony in Darwin and was honoured as a finalist. This achievement reflects her years of service and unwavering dedication to the children, families, and the Umbakumba community. 

    We are immensely proud of Joyleen and deeply appreciate her significant contributions. Her work has had a positive impact on many lives. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to her for this well-deserved recognition.
