At Kookaburra we have certain pre-planned events that happen at the Centre. One of those events is our Mother's Day afternoon. The aim of this event is to provide the special women in each child's life the oportunity to come into the Centre and spend some quality time in our learning environments with the little people who mean the most to them. We encourage not just Mums but Grandmas, Aunties, Friends, Cousins and any special women in a childs life to attend. We offer a range of fun activities for the children to engage in with their visitor and provide some light refrseshments such as scones with jam and cream, coffee and tea.

Berky visits Kookaburra each year. Berky is a puppet that travels around mackay visiting schools and childcare centres to promote reading to the children in their early years. Berky gets to spend a day in each room and the children get to interact, read, sing, talk and cuddle him.  

Every year Kookaburra host our Eat Street event. Each room chooses a culture and prepares a traditional meal to share with our Kookaburra families. The rooms also make their stalls out of recyclable products from around our Centre to encourage sustainability. Families and friends are invited to attend the Centre and partake in the delicious foods on offer. This is a wonderful community event which encourages families to participate in our program.
