At Journey Alphington, we acknowledge and pay our respects to the Wurundjeri peoples, elders and traditional custodians past, present and emerging. As a community, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, and all families, inclusive of all backgrounds. Our vision is to work collaboratively to reduce prejudice and gain understanding by providing rich learning experiences that strengthen knowledge and foster a community that celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. We are committed to respectfully teaching children the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ history, cultures and contributions to this country and promote a culturally supportive environment. We are building secure and respectful connections with our community and promote life-long learning which will empower our children to be active contributors to promoting equity and upholding the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
