At Sesame Lane Anzac Avenue, we recognise and respect the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are committed to fostering respectful relationships with First Nations peoples in our local community, while continuously deepening our understanding of the diverse heritages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Guided by our value of small hands, big skills, we believe every child is capable, competent, and empowered to grow as confident learners and respectful and active community members. We are committed to continuing to educate ourselves, families and current and future generations about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, and perspectives in meaningful, age-appropriate ways that nurture curiosity and understanding.
We are dedicated to maintaining a culturally responsive and safe environment where everyone across our learning community feels secure, valued, and heard. This will be done through inclusive practices, collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, families, and communities. We will continue to engage in ongoing reflection and professional growth to strengthen our understanding of cultural responsiveness and safeguard the wellbeing of all children.
Through respect, inclusivity, and continuous improvement, we will continue to strengthen our relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the local community and across Australia. We will ensure our service remains a place where small hands develop big skills in order to cultivate a meaningful understanding of reconciliation, assuring it lives in the hearts and minds of everyone across our learning community.
