Alive Catholic Early Learning Centre

Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia that embraces unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all other Australians, a national culture that represents equality and equity, historical acceptance of our shared history and removal of negative race relations. Reconciliation must be at the heart of our actions for all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are committed to working in a respectful way with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, organisations, and communities.

Alive Catholic Early Learning Centre will do this byrecognising the diverse and dynamic nature of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and histories and byacknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ deep connections with lands, waters and communities.

Our vision for a reconciled Australia is a place whereAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ cultures are valued, respected and affirmed across all areas of society. We believe it is vital for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ rights to be recognised and protected under Australian Law. Where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, and all children, have equal and equitable opportunities to exercise choices about the way in which they lead meaningful, healthy lives, including those which sustain their cultures.

We acknowledge the RAP is a continual process and we will add to it and grow individually, as a team. Our commitment mirrors our values of respect for diversity, inclusion, advocating the rights of children, justice, honesty and courage.  It is our goal that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives and heritages are embedded so respectfully and deeply in the future that it is entrenched in our being, belonging and becoming.
