Brown Street Children's Centre is committed to building a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and voices are respected, valued and acknowledged every day. Located on the Lands of the Gunaikurnai People, we acknowledge the deep and continuing connections Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have with Country, culture and community.
Our vision is to create a safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive learning environment where children grow with a strong sense of respect, curiosity, and appreciation for the world's oldest continuing cultures.
Through meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and organisations, we aim to embed authentic learning, truth-telling and shared understanding into our everyday practice.
We believe reconciliation begins in early childhood; by nurturing empathy, respect and belonging, we empower children, families and educators to walk together towards a more just, respectful and united future.
