Our vision for reconciliation at Kookaburra Early Learning is to embrace unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and other Australians, and a national culture that represents equality and equity, historical acceptance of our shared history and removal of negative race relations. Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We are here to teach children about the future whilst incorporating a sense of being, belonging and becoming at our centre. We at Kookaburra Early Learning provide children with a range of learning experiences in a respectful way which enhances children’s knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritages and perspectives in a way that encourages connectedness to First Nations People within our centre and the broader community, maintaining positive relationships and links to the Darkinjung People which is being embedded throughout our centre’s curriculums and daily routines.
