Eynesbury Kindergarten acknowledges and values the cultural histories, heritages, traditions and continuing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We believe in the process of meaningful reconciliation and acknowledge the necessity of working collaboratively and respectfully with each other and with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community to achieve this.
We strongly believe that education is a powerful tool in the reconciliation process and that the key is to begin with educating children about the true histories of Australia from a young age.
We believe that reconciliation needs to focus on the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians and must address past and present injustices, prejudices, discrimination, trauma and racism.
We strongly believe in the power of representation and inclusivity and are determined to better walk beside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues, children, young people and families. We recognise our role in building a diverse, equitable, and thriving society.
We strongly believe that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a right to have their voices heard both within our Kindergarten and wider local community as well as at the highest levels of governance in our nation and this initiative aligns deeply with our core values of inclusion, commitment, and inspiration, driving us to strive for greater achievements and a better future for the children and young people we support.
