Ermington OOSH has vision to reconcile with and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their ongoing connection to Land and culture. We strive for further learning, understanding and to appreciate the histories, cultures and connections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As a service, we are dedicated to enhancing knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and perspectives to ensure our service is a culturally safe space. We will strengthen relationships, respect, and opportunities between our service and the First Nations community through our reconciliation action plan. We are dedicated to working alongside the Narragunnawali reconciliation in education team and the greater community in order to maximise opportunities and create a long-term commitment to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian community.
We seek to respectfully embed our understandings of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and perspectives into our everyday programs and practices. Our vision is to provide experiences that explore fairness, justice, equality and equity. We recognise that our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a living document that is consistently evolving, and we are dedicated to endless learning throughout this process.
