At Guardian Thornbury, we acknowledge and pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Our vision is to provide an inclusive learning environment that demonstrates respect for, and our commitment to continued growth in the understanding and learning about, First Nations peoples cultures and perspectives. We actively acknowledge the importance of partnerships and relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, leaders, and community. We are committed to respectfully embedding meaningful and authentic reconciliation actions into our practices and fostering an environment that is inclusive, respectful, and culturally safe for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people. We aim to share our understandings and learnings with children and families through respectful practices and learning experiences. As allies, we believe in promoting equity and equality in the space of reconciliation and fostering the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our sphere of influence.
