Our RAP formalises our commitment to reconciliation and improve educational opportunities and cultural connectedness to the histories and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The children at Bright Buttons gain an understanding of Australia’s cultural heritages and learn to respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We acknowledge the past, present and emerging Elders of the Gubbi Gubbi Land we are on within our daily activities. As early childhood educators and young learners we are committed to continued actions towards reconciliation, improving our community’s understanding of the importance of reconciliation.
The centre will respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives within our teaching and learning experiences. Each year we build on our knowledge as a centre and endeavour to share that knowledge and understanding to the children. In doing so we strive to provide meaningful opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and all students to achieve their full potential.
The RAP is championed by management, Director and all educators.
