At Whitsunday Shire Family Day Care we are committed to fostering genuine understanding, respect and collaboration between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people.
Our dedication to reconciliation is grounded in our belief that every individual deserves equal and equitable opportunities and recognition. We are motivated by a desire to acknowledge and honour the rich histories, cultures and contributions of Australia's First Peoples.
Through active engagement and dialogue, we seek to build authentic relationships with local First Nations community members, guided by principles of mutual respect and shared learning. We are committed to respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our daily practices, curriculum and interactions.
With humility, determination and a spirit of partnership, we continue on this journey towards reconciliation, knowing that together, we can create a brighter and more harmonious future for generations to come.
