Giggling Gecko Out of School Care - MULLALOO

At Giggling Geckos, we acknowledge the First Nations peoples of Australia the Traditional Custodians of the Lands on which we live, learn, and play, the Noongar Whadjuk people. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise their enduring connection to Country, culture, and community.     

Our vision is to actively contribute to reconciliation by creating a culturally safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families, staff, and the wider community.   

We commit to:   

Acknowledging and respecting Country daily, incorporating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and knowledge into our programs.   

Collaborating with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and Elders, ensuring our practices are culturally informed, meaningful, and respectful.   

Fostering understanding, respect, and pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures among children, families, and staff.   

Embedding connections to Country and sustainability into our curriculum, acknowledging the deep spiritual, cultural, and environmental knowledge held by First Nations peoples.   

Supporting ongoing professional learning for educators to strengthen cultural responsiveness and deepening our understanding of reconciliation.  

Through these commitments, Giggling Geckos seeks to nurture a generation of children who value and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, contribute to inclusive communities, and build meaningful connections to Country and culture.
