At Bridge Road ELC, we are committed to educating children, families, educators, and the community in the importance of reconciliation.
We, as a service, will continue to respectfully engage with, and respect, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. At Bridge Road ELC, we remain committed to supporting relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, advancing and advocating for reconciliation.
We strive to deepen our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures, perspectives and histories through our daily practices, and to respectfully embed our learnings within the service environment and operations. We provide families and children with culturally responsive opportunities to develop connections with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and understandings of the diversity of First Nations cultures across Australia.
At Bridge Road ELC, we recognise that reconciliation requires ongoing reflection, critical self-awareness, and accountability to ensure our practices remain culturally respectful, inclusive and responsive.
Bridge Road ELCs Reconciliation Action Plan is a formal statement of our ongoing commitment to reconciliation. We will continue to engage with as an active, living document, supporting the development of respectful relationships and meaningful opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
