Hobsons Bay Childrens Centre is committed to a vision of reconciliation that is grounded in meaningful community participation and shared understanding.
We strive to create an environment where all children actively engage in learning about the histories, cultures, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We view reconciliation as a collective and inclusive journey, one that brings together educators, families, and visitors in a spirit of respect and belonging.
Through this commitment, we aim to nurture respectful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, deepen our cultural understanding of First Nations peoples, histories, cultures and perspectives. And provide a culturally safe and inclusive environment where every child can learn about and appreciate the First Nations People of Australia and their enduring connections to Lands, cultures, and community.
