Bonnet Bay Child Care Centre

At our core, we believe in the transformative power of reconciliation. We envision a community where past wrongs are acknowledged, and unity is fostered through understanding and respect. Embracing the truth that the past cannot be changed; we commit ourselves to building a future where equality and equity thrive.

Recognising that change must begin at a young age, we aim to provide learning experiences that respectfully include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives. This educational journey requires educators to engage in critical reflection to identify and dismantle any biases, committing themselves to a lifelong pursuit of learning and professional development. Through this process, educators can effectively impart their knowledge to children, providing them with opportunities for reflection and exploration and empowering them to take ownership of their own learning about reconciliation. With this, we aim to foster cultural awareness and tolerance that lays the groundwork for a future of unity and understanding.

In our vision, we see we see an early childhood environment where every child's unique identity is celebrated. Through the nurturing of strong self-identities and the dismantling of biases, we strive to create a space where every child feels valued and empowered.

Central to our vision is recognising and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ wisdom, traditions, and resilience, guiding our children to recognise, accept, and respect their heritage. We commit to nurturing a culture of inclusivity, compassion, and mutual respect. We aim to inspire a generation of global citizens who embrace diversity as a cornerstone of our shared humanity.
