Tumut Community Preschool

Our vision for reconciliation at Tumut Community Preschool is for children, educators, families, and the wider community to continue deepening their understanding of and respect for the unique cultures of the First Peoples of Australia. We acknowledge and respect the deep connections that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to Country on which we now live and learn. 

We continue to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives in our curriculum and practice, building and deepening genuine, respectful relationships with the local First Nations community and fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion. The best interest of each child is our paramount consideration, and this principle encompasses the cultural safety of all children. 

Our Reconciliation Action Plan guides our preschool on this journey towards harmony and understanding, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to immerse themselves respectfully in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures.

We recognise and respect the cultural rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and are committed to developing a deeper understanding of First Nations people and their diverse ways of knowing and learning, thoughtfully embedding this into all aspects of our preschool.
