St Albans North Preschool acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and Traditional Custodians of Lands across the continent. We value their cultures, identities and continuing connections to Country, waters, kin, and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. 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 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, ensuring our practices and pedagogy promote social justice, equality, and equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through this vision, we are laying the foundations to grow current and future generations that value and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and heritages as a proud part of a shared identity. We provide services that are welcoming, safe, culturally appropriate, and inclusive.
