First Early Learning Narre Warren North is dedicated and committed to taking action towards and promoting reconciliation within our centre and wider community. Our vision for a reconciled Australia encompasses unity, equality and equity and the celebration of diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. We believe all children should feel a sense of belonging to our service community and feel confident to share and celebrate their identities as they choose to. We value the importance of having an awareness and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledges, and histories, especially pertaining to the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which our service is located.. We believe forming and maintaining respectful and reciprocal relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Elders, communities, organisations and bodies will further enhance reconciliation driven by our service with children, staff and families all enriched by these experiences for the benefit of all. We aim to respectfully embed authentic and meaningful learning and teaching practices within our centre that are rich in Bunurong histories and traditions and highlight the 5 Dimensions of Reconciliation.
