Rockhampton North Early Learning

We recognise the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we learn, play and teach, the Darumbal People. At Rockhampton North Early Learning we are committed to walking together on a meaningful journey of reconciliation. We recognise and honour the histories, cultures, languages and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations peoples of Australia.  

As Early Years Educators we understand our responsibility to support children in devolving respect, understanding and appreciation for Australia's true histories. We are dedicated to creating a culturally safe and inclusive environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are visible, respected and meaningfully embedded into our curriculum and everyday practices.  

Guided by the Reggio Emilia approach, we view children as capable, curious, and connected learners who build knowledge through relationships with people, place, and culture. We believe these relationships are strengthened through authentic engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, perspectives and ways of knowing.  

Our commitment to reconciliation is reflected in how we listen, learn and grow alongside children, families, and the wider community. We recognise that every interaction is an opportunity to build understanding, respect, and connection.  

We are committed to ensuring equitable and inclusive opportunities for First Nations children, families and educators alongside all children, families, and educators within our service. We strive to create an environment that is culturally responsive, respectful, and reflective of the diversity within our community.  

We are dedicated to working in partnership with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, organisations and communities embedding their perspective across all areas of our service and fostering a strong foundation of respect, understanding and reconciliation for future generations.
