Rhonda’s Cottage's vision for reconciliation is to commit to connecting and building authentic relationships with the local First Nations Peoples in our community. We continue to learn about the cultural knowledges of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and respectfully embed First Nations peoples' perspectives and values in our service and our engagement with the land, people, animal, skies, and waterways. Rhonda’s Cottage supports reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people. We will build this through respect, shared understanding, shared values and strengthened connections. Rhonda’s Cottage has a vision for all the children of the land to grow up appreciating, embracing and engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures and contributions.
