Reconciliation is about starting today to create a future where we are respectful and proud of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures. As a community, we will take the journey towards reconciliation together with our children, educators and families. Children's World Learning and Development Centre believes in the power of relationships. We believe in partnerships, wellbeing and the power of educators, children and families coming together to build a community of learners. We aim to be a Service that leads the way in building a better future which is based on stronger relationships between between Aboriginal and Torrs Strait Islander peoples and the wider community. As a Service, we believe we can contribute to this future by deepening our awareness and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories and cultures. Through working together respectfully as a community, including children from a young age, we can grow, learn and build a deeper understanding as together we walk the steps of the reconciliation journey. Like any great undertaking, our processes are not static. We believe, as stated in the 2008 National Apology, that our Reconciliation journey is about creating a future based on mutual respect, mutual resolve and mutual responsibility.
