Wiradjuri Preschool and Child Care Centre

Wiradjuri Preschool Child Care Centre views reconciliation as an opportunity to redress the inequities that exist between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australian people. We believe reconciliation means paying thoughtfully focused attention to Australia's complex histories and acknowledging the diverse experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have too often endured cruel injustices. It means acknowledging the diverse knowledges, expertise, achievements and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and drawing on these, in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, to enhance the life experiences of all Australians. 

A reconciled Australia rejoices in the successes of its diverse population who work together in partnership to ensure that everyone enjoys equal and equitable access to all of Australia's natural, social and cultural resources. A reconciled Australia acknowledges the unique rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to their Land, languages and culture. A reconciled Australia has high expectations for all its citizens and ensures that everyone is adequately supported to achieve their fullest potentials. 

We believe Wiradjuri Preschool plays an important role in enacting both symbolic and tangible reconciliation through our ongoing work with the local community. We believe that working with young children towards reconciliation in thoughtfully informed and age appropriate ways is some of the most important work we do.
