Wollongong Cottage Kindergarten’s vision for reconciliation is creating an Australia that embraces unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. We are committed to working in a respectful way with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, organisations and communities to provide an inclusive and diverse service that represents equality, equity and acceptance of our shared histories. Wollongong Cottage Kindergarten promotes a culturally safe, rich and proud community as we have children from all over the world attend our Service. 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 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
