Our vision for reconciliation is rooted in the principles of respect, understanding, and unity. It encompasses a commitment to acknowledging and addressing historical injustices while fostering meaningful relationships between Australia’s First Peoples and non-Indigenous people.
For our early learning service, reconciliation means creating an inclusive and equitable environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures, languages, and perspectives are valued and integrated into every aspect of our programs and practices. It means recognizing and respecting the unique identities and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families while actively working to dismantle systemic barriers that promote equity and equality.
What motivates our commitment to reconciliation is a deep sense of responsibility to contribute to healing and transformation within our communities. We understand that reconciliation is not just a moral imperative but also essential for building a more just and prosperous society for future generations. By embracing reconciliation, we seek to foster empathy, understanding, and solidarity among all members of our community while honoring the rich cultural heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
In summary, our vision for reconciliation is one of collaboration, empowerment, and healing, driven by our commitment to equity, justice, and respect for all.
