Recognition Action Plan
Exploring reconciliation is about rights. About the right of Australia’s First Peoples to be valued and the right of all Australians to know the true histories and cultures of the land we call home – the land on which we live, work play, learn and enjoy each day.
As early childhood educators, we understand the importance of developing curriculum that fosters a high level of knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories, cultures, and contemporary lives.
Cultural responsiveness means we have a genuine commitment to take action against discrimination in any form, respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives and voices in all aspects of the service environment, curriculum and decision making and working collaboratively with c children and families.
We are committed to building reciprocal partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities in order to promote a greater understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and being. We work to ensure children develop the ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people preparing them to live well with diversity and challenge bias.
