Learning Adventures @ Kingswood

 At Learning Adventures @ Kingswood, we acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and respectfully recognise the Darug people as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which our Kingswood service stands. We are committed to creating a learning environment where everyone, including educators, families, children and the wider community, has opportunities to develop a deep respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' cultures, histories, and enduring contributions.    

Through our intentional practices, we nurture respect, understanding, and appreciation for the diverse contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We firmly believe in ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and everyone across our learning community, experience equality and equity. We will continue to ensure diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' perspectives, cultures, languages, and beliefs are acknowledged and meaningfully valued... This commitment strengthens our inclusive approach and ensures every child, family, educator and community member feels valued within our learning community.   

 We will continue to provide a culturally rich educational settings by thoughtfully weaving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and stories, into our curriculum, daily routines, and learning environments. These meaningful opportunities will continue to support everyone across the service, including children, in developing genuine curiosity and understanding of reconciliation and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and contributions, and a strong sense of belonging.   

We recognise that reconciliation is strengthened through respectful, authentic relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Our service is dedicated to building ongoing connections and authentic partnerships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, including Elders and knowledge holders. We will continue to be open to listening to Traditional Custodians, Elders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members to enrich our learning and support our growth.   

At Learning Adventures @ Kingswood, reconciliation is not a single action but a shared, evolving journey. Together with children, families, educators, and the community, we will continue to work to create a culturally safe, responsive and inclusive environment, where equity, belonging, and truth telling are upheld for current and future generations.
