Queen Street ELC

At Queen Street Early Learning Centre (QSELC), our vision is to be a driving force for reconciliation in Sydney's Inner West. We deeply honor the Gadigal and Wangal People as the Traditional Custodians of this Land and are committed to fostering positive relationships and celebrating the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our goal is to create an inclusive, respectful, and culturally safe environment for all children, families, and staff at QSELC.

Guided by our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we strive to promote understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. The RAP provides a framework for developing impactful strategies that empower children to embrace diversity, learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures, and actively engage in reconciliation activities. We actively seek relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, organizations, and businesses to ensure our practices are culturally responsive and informed. By collaborating and learning from First Nations people, we aim to integrate cultural authenticity and foster respect within our service.

Through continuous cultural education and awareness, we are dedicated to nurturing the next generation of respectful and well-informed young Australians. Embracing the principles of reconciliation, we believe our efforts contribute to creating a just, inclusive, and harmonious society for all. We commit to the ongoing journey of reconciliation, envisioning a future where the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are celebrated, valued, and seamlessly integrated into every aspect of our service. This integration fosters a strong sense of belonging and unity among all individuals involved, promoting a diverse and inclusive.
