Warilla Baptist Preschool

At Warilla Baptist Preschool, we wholeheartedly recognise and embrace reconciliation and the profound importance of establishing and maintaining respectful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We are committed to fostering an environment of cultural responsiveness, empathy, and inclusivity, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives are acknowledged and respected.   

Our vision for reconciliation is to deepen our understanding of the true histories, lived experiences, and aspirations of the local Wodi Wodi people of the Dharawal Nation. We  honour and respect their culture as we respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples ways of knowing, being, and doing into every aspect of our programs, practices, and environments. This commitment is foundational to our approach, ensuring that these cultural perspectives are integrated in authentic, meaningful, and engaging ways that foster connection and awareness among all members of our community.  

We actively work towards maintaining strong, ongoing relationships and partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within the local community. We recognise the importance of working together, learning from one another, and walking alongside each other on the journey of reconciliation. We are dedicated to ensuring that these partnerships remain genuine, respectful, and built on mutual understanding, trust, and shared aspirations for a better future.
