Kinda- Mindi Marketown, believes in providing children with rich, meaningful and real opportunities to better understand the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their communities, traditions and continuing connections to the Bidjigal Lands on which our service resides.
Our aim is to find meaningful ways to walk together with Australia’s First Nations Peoples, by building knowledge, acceptance and understanding that is fostered through the reciprocal relationships with the local Aboriginal community members and ongoing learning and professional development.
Our vision is to create an environment that promotes justice, anti-bias approaches, equality and equity for all, by inspiring knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s perspectives and heritage, and we encourage our Kinda-Mindi community; staff, families, children and visitors alike, to embrace reconciliation through embedded practices that actively values and recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and heritage as a proud part of our shared identity.
