At Only About Children (OAC) Hampton we acknowledge the histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; the strength and resilience Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to show, despite the ongoing impact to their cultures in the face of discrimination. Our vision is a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are actively recognised as being the First Nations people of Australia, where all Australians embrace Elders past, present, and future for the wisdom and knowledge they hold and share.
Respect Create a strong foundation for the children, families and educators in our center that they can deepen their respect for and knowledge about the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories.
Relationships Continue to maintain respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and our learning community
