Our vision for reconciliation is to respect the knowledges of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures and to respectfully share our ongoing learnings and understandings with children and families. As a service, we have been active in sharing our learnings within our programs and through our communication with our families and wider community. We will continue to form meaningful connections with local Aboriginal Elders. We will continue to pay close attention to the use of inclusive and respectful language and terminology.
We are committed to incorporating authentic and ethically sourced material both intellectually and physically within our programs that not only supports local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities but provides families with a further understanding of the cultures we are committed to share our learnings about. We are committed to providing rich diverse culture where reconciliation can develop and be seen naturally and authentically in a meaningful way.
We commit to seeking out meaningful connections between our vision and plans for reconciliation and the principles, practices and outcomes of early years learning framework. Establishing a strong relationship between the two will ensure reconciliation is meaningfully embedded in every day early learning environment.
