Forrest Out Of School Hours Care respects and honours the cultures, histories and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations peoples of Australia.
FOOSHC contributes to a reconciled nation by being a place where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples feel a sense of belonging and cultural safety.
Our team, children and families are empowered to be advocates for reconciliation through Truth-telling, connection to Country and a commitment to continuous learning and understanding.
At FOOSHC we will walk alongside each other on our journey of reconciliation.
FOOSHC is committed to including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural, spiritual, and educational perspectives and their continuing connection to land waters and community.
