Winston Glades Early Education Centre and Preschool

Our vision is an Australia that embraces unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, other Australians and a national culture that represents equality and equity for all. Reconciliation will live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We continue our commitment to respectfully working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, families and communities.

We do this by recognising the diverse and dynamic nature of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and histories and by acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ deep connections with Lands, water and communities.  

Our ongoing vision for a reconciled Australia is a place where:

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures are valued and respected across all areas of society and all children have an equal opportunity to exercise choices and the way in which they lead meaningful, healthy lives, including those which sustain their cultures.  

Our commitment mirrors our values of respect and diversity. It is our continued goal, that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are embedded so respectfully and deeply in the future that it is entrenched in our being, belonging and becoming, in support of sustainable and meaningful reconciliation.

Winston Glades Early Education Centre creates a culturally safe and responsive learning environment, so all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families feel a sense of belonging and remains committed to sourcing and attending opportunities to increase staff and community awareness of the longstanding and continuing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

By Establishing a better understanding and respect of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, we develop an enriched appreciation of our shared Australian cultural heritage and move towards the maturity of Australia as a nation.
