Milestsones Stanthorpe recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the Land.
We are committed to reconciliation and to ensuring that all our work is inclusive and respectful of the cultures and perspectives of Australia’s First Peoples. We advocate for communities working together towards a better future where families and community are strong, and the potential of every child is supported.
We acknowledge the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, and communities. Through our sphere of influence and leadership, we will work to encourage other education and care services to connect and develop a Reconciliation Action Plan for their organisation and to build a strong reconciliation network with us. We recognise that the principles of equity, equality, inclusion and diversity underpin our work with children.
We aim to provide respectful, effective, and positive leadership to the staff, other education and care services in our community of practice, and the wider community. We will create and maintain new and existing relationships through consultation and collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, organisations, and stakeholders. Strengthening partnerships is an important step in gaining greater knowledge and understanding to further reconciliation.
