Sandon Point Childrens Centre is committed to fostering deep respect for, and understanding of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories within our community. We are dedicated to promoting meaningful change through truth-telling, cultural inclusion, and active allyship.
We support our educators, children and families to engage confidently in conversations that challenge racism and promote equity. By doing so, we empower them to influence the attitudes of others in the wider community.
Through culturally respectful teaching and everyday practices, we aim to dispel stereotypes and nurture genuine understanding. We are committed to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives meaningfully and respectfully within our programs, service culture, and relationships.
We provide a culturally safe environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and contemporary experiences are recognised, valued, and included. Our curriculum honours the true histories of Australia by acknowledging the lasting impacts of colonisation, while also celebrating the strength, resilience, and ongoing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We support the aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, including their calls for recognition and justice through constitutional reform and truth-telling processes.
