The management, educators and community of Bright House Preschools vision for reconciliation in alignment with our values is that we endeavour to continue to engage with, and model to children the importance of reconciliation.
We recognise that children's connections to their community is important to their sense of wellbeing and we provide children with resources and experiences to connect with and learn about the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. In support of these, we recognise the importance of strengthening and maintaining our relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities local and nationally.
We respectfully teach about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives and acknowledge their contributions to community and society. We commit to gaining a deeper knowledge of First Nations people's ways of learning and knowing, and where possible, respectfully reflecting that knowledge in our service.
We will provide training opportunities and support educators to further their cultural responsiveness to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives throughout our preschool. We provide equal and equitable opportunities to access our service and respectfully engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and all families.
We acknowledge the continuing ownership and custodianship that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the Lands throughout Australia and visibly respect the connection that Aboriginal People have to the Land on which our preschool is situated.
