At Samuel Terry OSH, we aspire to be a community where reconciliation is lived and reflected meaningfully in everything we do. We are committed to providing a warm, inclusive, and respectful environment where every child, family, and staff member feels welcome and supported.
We honour and deeply respect the rich cultures, histories, and ongoing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, we purposefully embed First Nations perspectives into everyday learning experiences, promoting cultural understanding, respect, and appreciation from an early age.
Our vision is to nurture each child's learning journey by celebrating diversity and fostering a strong sense of belonging. We actively work to build genuine, ongoing partnerships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities ensuring their voices, knowledges, and guidance shape our practices and programs.
We support and empower our educators through continuous professional learning to deepen their cultural understanding and confidence. This commitment enables educators to create inclusive practices that strengthen childrens cultural identity and support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to feel welcomed, respected, and connected to our service.
Through this shared commitment to reconciliation, we strive to inspire future generations to grow with understanding, respect, and pride in Australias rich First Nations cultures, contributing to a more inclusive and united community.
