Eynesbury Kindergarten

Eynesbury Kindergarten acknowledges and deeply values the cultural histories, heritages, traditions and ongoing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise that we teach and learn on Wadawurrung land and pay our respects to Elders past and present, honouring their enduring connection to Country. We are committed to the ongoing process of meaningful reconciliation and understand the importance of working collaboratively and respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. We believe education plays a vital role in this journey, and we intentionally embed learning about First Nations perspectives, cultures and histories within our program. We believe that children should be supported from a young age to learn the true and full histories of Australia, developing understanding, respect and empathy. We acknowledge that reconciliation requires an honest commitment to addressing past and present injustices, including prejudice, discrimination, trauma and racism. We value the power of representation and inclusivity, and we are dedicated to walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues, children, young people and families. We recognise our responsibility in contributing to a diverse, equitable and thriving society. We strongly uphold the right of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to have their voices heard within our Kindergarten, our local community and at all levels of governance. This commitment aligns with our core values of inclusion, respect and integrity, and guides our ongoing efforts to create meaningful change and a better future for all children and young people.
