Firstly, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we live, learn, love and play. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. Our Vision for reconciliation at Fischer Road early learning is to come together and learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and beliefs. We believe in a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are recognized as being the First Nations peoples of Australia. Fischer Road Early Learning is encouraging reconciliation to be respectively embedded into our daily program as it needs to be recongised as a part of our history and inclusion of equity and equality. We believe it is important to encourage and engage our children through positive and respectfully educating them on moving forward together as a greater community to unite and collaborate to build a better Australian Country for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and all Australians. As a child care service our objective is to strengthen our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultural customs as we commit to working towards a safe and equal environment for our children, educators, families and the wider community. Our vision is to implement a welcoming environment for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural communities and pledge to value their knowledge to respectfully promote programs, as they lead the way in sharing their knowledge with Fischer Road Early Learning.
