Fun Club @ Lakelands

Fun Club @ Lakelands acknowledges the importance of all Australians having the opportunity to learn about the cultures and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Together, we strive to involve educators, children, families, and wider community to come together to learn about, and recognise, the challenges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have, and continue to, overcome and the strength and resilience of First Nations cultures. 

We recognise the importance of caring for Country and are committed to guiding people who enter our service to learn about the importance of the environment and the connections the Land holds within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories. We are committed to continuing to build strong relationships within the local community by extending opportunities for all people to learn about the Country which we reside and embrace the connections that are formed through Country. We aim to provide opportunities for learning, developing, and understanding the diversity that exists within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures. We continue to commit to acknowledging and sharing the true histories of Australia, to support the wider community to develop their knowledge and respect for the cultures and the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our community.   

We acknowledge that this will be an ongoing journey of learning and recognise the importance of embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives within our service to continue to fostering relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and culture. We are committed to respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives meaningfully within our practices and our environments.
