Story House Early Learning Mascot acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Lands across Australia. We pay our respect to the Darug people on whose Land we learn and play.
We strive to ensure that we continue to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in all that we do. We acknowledge that it is a child’s right to learn about the Gadigal Land and the Traditional Custodians and their histories and are committed to building respectful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples within our community to break down barriers and move forward together. As early childhood educators, we understand that ‘from little things big things grow’ and that a child's learning journey and reconciliation journey begins here.
Our vision is a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are recognised as being the First Nations people of Australia. Where all Australians embrace Elders past, present and future for the wisdom and knowledge they hold and share and support emerging leaders in local communities.
