We at Uniting Early Learning Kirwan believe that our vision for reconciliation as a community is the continued and active acknowledgement of, and respect for, the Traditional Custodians of the Land. Our educators are committed to providing a welcoming and open environment for all children to grow in their knowledge and learning journeys.
Our educators understand and value the importance of engaging in respectful, trusting, and reciprocal relationships with all children, their families and the local First Nations community. Our educators will continue to facilitate experiences and explore opportunities to respectfully grow their knowledge of Australia’s First Nations peoples. Our educators ensure we are respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives within our learning environments across all age groups, teachings and pedagogies.
We at Uniting Early Learning Kirwan are dedicated to continuing to engage with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, ensuring our ever-growing relationship remains respectful, reciprocal and considerate. Such respect will also be demonstrated within our learning environments, conversations and teachings.
We at Uniting Early Learning Kirwan will continue our Reconciliation Action Plan implementation journey, with reflections and discussions being upheld within our professional environment to ensure we are providing our children, families and community with the appropriate knowledge, and to ensure the language, terminology, resources and pedagogical practices used across all our learning environments to remain inclusive, respectful and culturally responsive .
