Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure - Buderim

Our vision is a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and contributions are actively recognised and respected; where all Australians embrace Elders past, present and future for the wisdom and knowledge they hold and share. As the future generations of Australia are within our centre, we are committed to supporting and role modelling to them to build and form a sense of belonging and strong connections with local Elders, community members, families and children. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples’ knowledge and connections to the  Land, culture and community, and strive to continue to foster this acknowledgement within all centre philosophies and operations. We are committed to working in collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to respectfully acknowledge and embed First Nations languages, cultures and perspectives within our service. We acknowledge the longstanding and continuing contributions of local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, in particular to the education of young children. We also actively recognise First Peoples’ continued relationship with the Country on which our early learning centre stands since long before our centre’s story began. A better understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures develops an enriched appreciation of First Peoples’ connections to culture, Country and community. We recognise and pay respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership in education and the important ways in which this contributes to reconciliation.
