At 3 Bees Early Learning Centre, we acknowledge and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Original Custodians of Australia, recognising their culture as an essential part of the cultural heritages shared by all Australians. We express our gratitude to the Wurundjeri People, upon whose Land we engage in learning and play. Our deep commitment to reconciliation underscores our understanding of the profound significance of culture in shaping the identity and self-awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. We actively strive to create a community, environment, and service that genuinely reflects, promotes, and supports the diverse identities and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. We firmly believe in the importance of fostering widespread knowledge and comprehension among all Australians about the varied and complex histories and current realities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It is imperative that every Australian child grows up in a society that wholeheartedly acknowledges and truly values the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as integral components of our national identity. We remain strong in our commitment to challenging and confronting any racist, insensitive, biased attitudes, practices, or behaviours. Our Early Learning Centre is dedicated to ensuring that our present and future practices, publications, and policies consistently embody respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, while acknowledging the present realities and actively supporting the ongoing journey of reconciliation. Always was and Always will be Aboriginal Land
