At Karalta Cottage Kindergarten we value and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their histories and traditions and recognise them as the Traditional Custodians of the Land. We honour the richness of diversity amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures and will continue to treat each other with respect, equally and equitably in our community. We nurture and encourage a deep respect and interest in learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and individual traditions of all people past, present and future. We will choose kindness in our approach and help the children to further their development of empathy and the choice of forgiveness and genuine acceptance for all. We foresee a reconciled Australia by encouraging this kindness and continual acceptance and will challenge unfairness and injustice, so that one day reconciliation is a reality and we are all living together in this land in harmony.
