Our vision for reconciliation at Narellan Montessori Academy is to enrich, enlighten, and to further educate all educators, families, and children within the centre about the importance of our shared reconciliation journey. We will continue to foster an environment where educators, families, and children have the opportunity to continue to develop a strong sense of understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, true histories and ways of knowing and being within our education program. We value diversity within our service and, for this reason, we will continue to provide and plan experiences that broaden children’s, families’, and educators’ perspectives and encourage them to participate, in connecting the home, the centre, and the community, including developing connections with the local First Nations community. This RAP will be attached to and implemented alongside the weekly planning to eventually form part of our Quality Improvement Plan.
