Templestowe World of Learning

At Templestowe World of Learning, our vision for reconciliation is to build a warm, inclusive and respectful learning community where every child, family and educator feels a strong sense of belonging and connection to the rich cultures, histories and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are committed to embedding respect, understanding and genuine acknowledgement of First Nations peoples into our daily practices, relationships and educational program.   We strive to create and maintain an environment where the contributions, knowledge and continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country are recognised, valued and celebrated as an essential part of childrens, educators and families learning and reconciliation journeys.  Through building and maintaining meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, we  support children in developing an appreciation of the diversity of First Nations peoples and cultures, while strengthening educators capacity to be culturally responsive, reflective and active advocates for equity, inclusion and social justice.   At Templestowe World of Learning, we believe reconciliation begins with education, truth-telling and shared understanding. By fostering ongoing reflection, open conversations and a culture of respect, we are committed to creating strong foundations for lasting unity, understanding and positive change for current and future generations. We are committed to embedding respect, inclusion and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures within our service and community.
