At Bright Minds Early Learning Bannockburn, we are committed to creating meaningful contributions towards reconciliation by implementing and respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives that are engaging, inclusive and promote an understanding of Australia’s First Nations Peoples histories and cultures. We will do this by building relationships, built on a foundation of respect. We will continue to create opportunities for connections between our early learning centre and the wider community. We see our RAP as an exciting learning journey to build and support social change and reconciliation by developing respectful understandings of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives within our practices and programs. We respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and will continue developing our cultural responsiveness to build our understanding of reconciliation. As we grow in, and become more confident in our understandings we will share this with the families, children and staff within our learning community in order to support our RAP vision statement. Our RAP working group is committed to and acknowledges our responsibility to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's perspectives and cultures.
