Congratulations Johnson House! 🎉👏

We’re proud to share that Johnson House Waratah recently won second prize in the 0–5-year-old category of the Advocate for Children and Young People’s (ACYP) Children’s Week 2025 Art Competition!

The Children’s Week theme, “Everyone should know about children’s rights”, inspired our artists to create a collaborative artwork celebrating the role of families, educators, and communities in supporting children’s wellbeing.

Johnson House Waratah Early Childhood Teacher Sarah says:
“Children are encouraged to recognise their rights and needs as responsible community members. Building strong relationships with caring adults ensures their safety and respect. The children created a collaborative artwork reflecting the responsibilities of families, educators, and the community in supporting children's wellbeing. The work highlights essential needs like food, shelter, education, play, happiness, and inclusion. It reflects children’s confident self-expression through illustrations and words.”

Some of the young artists said the following about the importance of children's rights:
🔹“Our families and teachers keep us safe, and we have food, shelter, love, water to be hydrated and affection.” - Siena
🔹“We are strong, we have a voice. Our mums and dads and grandparents and teachers care and love us and teach us. They get us food like ice cream and cool stuff like toys. We are community and our friends do too." - Sophie

This project highlights the power of children’s voices and the importance of nurturing environments where they feel safe, valued, and heard.

The new Louise Taplin wing was opened at The Infants’ Home in 1901. It was described as follows in the Town and Country Journal, 16 November 1901: ‘The new wing is about 140ft long and has a verandah 8ft wide along its entire length, on which, during the day time, some twenty cots will enable the younger babies to enjoy the fresh air.’

The new wing was soon nicknamed ‘Tappy’s Place’ after The Infants’ Home’s beloved Matron, Louise Taplin.

Pictured are babies enjoying fresh air on the verandah of Tappy’s Place, which today is part of our Johnson House Early Childhood Education and Care centre. "
