At The Cottage Ashmore, our vision for reconciliation is rooted in a commitment to actively recognize Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as Australia's First People.
We emphasize that our vision for reconciliation will focus on fostering understanding of and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’ histories and cultures. We acknowledge the particular place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all Australians in Australia's reconciliation journey, highlighting the importance of recognizing and respecting their histories, cultures, and contributions as integral parts of our shared national story and identity.
We will respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into the daily curriculum, ensuring representation across various subjects and activities. Our aim is to build meaningful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to collaborate and incorporate authentic cultural learning experiences.
