Brighton Beach Early Learning Centre is located on Bunurong Land and acknowledges the people of the Boonwurrung Language Group. Our vision for reconciliation is to continue to build understanding of, and respect for, diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, perspectives and communities and the deep connections each has to lands, waterways and skies. We continue to take action towards reconciliation through ensuring to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our programs and practices. We will continue to deepen our commitment to reconciliation by building and maintaining relationships with Elders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the local community. Reconciliation for us means recognising historical - and often intergenerational - injustices and inequities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples since colonisation, but also acknowledging the strengths and resilience shown by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and communities in the face of discrimination, and to celebrate the continued significance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contributions in shaping a shared sense of national unity and identify.
