Pyjama Day is almost here!

Get your fluffiest PJs ready because Pyjama Day is happening on Friday, 24th July!

We can't wait to see all our little explorers arrive in their favourite pyjamas for what is one of our favourite days of the year! From cosy onesies to colourful PJs, it's going to be a day full of laughter and fun.

At Port Explorers, we're proud to support National Pyjama Day because every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. This special day helps raise awareness for children living in foster care and supports programs that provide educational resources, tutoring, and learning support to help them reach their full potential.

We invite families to bring along a gold coin donation, with every dollar helping to fund these important educational programs and giving children in foster care the tools they need for a brighter future.

So, mark your calendars, pop those PJs by the front door, and join us on Friday the 24th of July for a cosy day of fun—all for a wonderful cause!

Floral Friday at Port Explorers!

If you've visited one of our Port Explorers centres on a Friday, you may have noticed our team wearing bright floral and Hawaiian shirts.

Every Friday, all our centres proudly take part in Floral Friday—a fun tradition that does more than brighten the day! Floral Friday is a long-standing social tradition that originated on Thursday Island (Waiben) and is widely recognised across the Torres Strait.

Floral Friday supports our commitment to creating culturally safe, welcoming environments where Torres Strait Islander children and families feel respected, included, and connected. When children see their culture reflected and valued, it helps foster a strong sense of belonging, trust, and safety—key elements of our Child Safe practices.

So, if you spot our team looking extra colourful on a Friday, you'll know there's an important reason behind the flowers!

Together, we're creating safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive environments where every child can learn, grow, and belong.
