At Waratah Preschool, we are committed to actively walking alongside First Nations peoples in the journey toward reconciliation. We honour and respect the cultures, histories, and knowledges of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognise our responsibility to embed these respectfully and meaningfully within our everyday practice. Guided by local protocols, we work in genuine partnership with local First Nations peoples and communities to ensure their voices inform and shape our planning, learning environments, and decision-making. We are dedicated to continuously strengthening educators confidence, cultural capability, and accountability to deliver authentic learning experiences that celebrate and uphold First Nations cultures and histories. Waratah Preschool strives to be a culturally safe, inclusive, and welcoming place where strong relationships are built, community connections are deepened, and reconciliation is lived through meaningful action, shared learning, and respectful partnerships between First Nations peoples and non-Indigenous peoples within our local community.
