Story House Early Learning’s vision for reconciliation is a reconciled Australia where the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous people is based on equality, equity, dignity, and respect. We aspire to see our nations soul healed and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures to be fully valued. We wish for broken relationships to be restored and social inequities eradicated. Oak on Jellicoe have just launched our RAP with a vision for an equitable and equal Australia, where the cultures and the continuing connection to country of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are not only respected but celebrated. Our RAP outlines practical actions that will move us closer to reconciliation both internally and in the communities which we work. Our RAP will help in developing and strengthening relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples in our community, engaging staff and stakeholders in reconciliation and developing initiatives that teach all children to be culturally aware and immersed in reconciliation.
Our RAP will help to deepen our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culture and our shared history. We will strive to have a comprehensive understanding of the policies that have significantly shaped the health, safety, education and wellbeing inequalities experiences by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people and their families today to improve our practices. We want to empower our staff to make an active contribution to reconciliation.
