We Belong Family Day Care Services believe in a strong future for every child. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Original Owners and Custodians of Lands across Australia always were, always will be. We recognise that First Peoples’ cultures and heritages shape the Australia we live in today. We are committed to ongoing learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders histories, cultures and contemporary affairs. We are committed to continued reflection, understanding and challenging of our own beliefs and everyday practices to deepen our understanding of fairness, justice, equality and equity.
We believe that by embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in all educators’ philosophy and practice is a key tool to advance reconciliation. Through carefully considered and informed practices within our service, we will support reconciliation, foster change and support our work to provide equal and equitable opportunities. Developing children's awareness, knowledge and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, practices, histories and continuing contributions within the context of our community helps support children's ways of being and transforms the ways future generations interact.
