St Albans North's philosophy is founded on a vision of providing children the best possible start in life through our inclusive quality learning. Our purpose is to ensure all children are equipped with the life skills they require before they start school. Our service recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our kindergarten is located. We envision ourselves engaging in reconciliation on both a personal and professional level, creating the conditions that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social justice, equality, and equity. Through this vision, we are laying the foundations to grow future generations that value and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and heritage as a proud part of a shared identity. We provide services that are welcoming, safe, culturally appropriate, and inclusive.
