We honor and respect First Nations Peoples’ deep connections to Country, culture, and spirituality. We commit to learning about and strengthening understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and perspectives and to actively listening to  their guidance, and valuing their wisdom. By actively acknowledging First Nations peoples’ enduring presence, we lay the foundation for genuine reconciliation. Understanding and valuing First Nations peoples’ histories and cultures is integral toour journey. We are committed to fostering cultural responsiveness among our staff and respectfully including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives into our curriculum. We strive to create an environment where children learn about, appreciate, and celebrate the rich diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.  Building relationships, respect, and trust between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is crucial to our vision. We believe that, by working together, we can create a future of harmony and unity.  Finally, we are dedicated to providing a safe space for children to be curious, and to acknowledge, learn about, and celebrate First Nations peoples’ cultures. We encourage children to respectfully explore, ask questions, and engage in meaningful experiences that deepen their understanding of reconciliation .  With this vision for reconciliation, we commit ourselves to an ongoing journey of learning, reflection, and action.
