At Como Preschool we recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Our vision is to develop and maintain relationships that are welcoming, respectful and inclusive, promoting unity and equality between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures as part of our shared identity as Australians. Our educators continue to develop knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of being and knowing of the Dharawal community, so we can inspire our educators, children and their families to advocate for genuine reconciliation. We respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and ways of learning throughout our daily curriculum and continue to invite Elders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members to be part of our centre. Our vision is respect, equality and equity for all.
