MindChamps Early Learning Centre - Hornsby

Our vision for reconciliation is to build trust, and respect between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australian, act against racism and understand conscious and unconscious bias to lower prejudice and increase our understanding and knowledge of Australia's First Nations Peoples’ histories and cultures. 

By gaining the knowledge and understanding of Australia’s First peoples, we can respectfully incorporate this perspective into our daily practices. We aim to make our preschool a more inclusive and culturally diverse space for staff, students and the wider community. 

Our vision for reconciliation will be based on careful and critical reflection, but be forward-thinking and aspirational, rather than simply listing existing activities and achievements. 

We will work towards providing a full picture of what the service hopes to achieve through implementing reconciliation initiatives, rather than providing a summary of individual RAP Actions. 

Our vision of reconciliation will be based and measured on five dimensions: historical acceptance; race relations; equality and equity; institutional integrity and unity. 

We understand that these five dimensions are interrelated. Reconciliation cannot be seen as a single issue but to address all of these together.
