VISION FOR RECONCILIATION

Reconciliation, for us at Homegarth Kindergarten, means acknowledging the colonial wrongdoings in the past, and the ongoing impacts on First Nations peoples. It means respecting and advocating for the particularly special place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples and working towards a united future where all people are respected and valued. 

Moving forward, this involves seeking information and ongoing education for ourselves and others, developing understandings with an open mind, and building strong relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members.   

It is important to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories, cultures, and rights, and actively respecting First Peoples’ rich cultures, spiritualities, and contributions which have continued for 65,000+ years. We need to acknowledge that long held traditions and cultures have been impacted by the colonial process and be mindful of respecting and supporting both cultural resilience and revitalisation as we continue our reconciliation journey. We envision an Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ traditions and cultural tools are actively valued by all as part of our shared society.
