Our vision for reconciliation at WCC Childrens and Family Services is for all to embrace the healing process of reconciliation, in partnership with the people of the Marr Nation, to form and maintain a sense of unity, respect and belonging within the community. We will continue to engage with reconciliation through ensuring that our Kindergarten is a culturally responsive place where all families, community and First Nations peoples feel welcomed and included. We will continue to ensure that education occurs at all levels, promoting knowledge and understanding of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures and histories, and that they are meaningfully embedded within our programs. We continue to engage with Australias true histories and deepening our understanding of the ongoing impacts of colonisation on First Nations peoples through fostering genuine respectful partnerships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, we commit to amplifying the voices of First Nations peoples, providing opportunities for First Nations voices within decision making about our Kindergarten.
