Our vision for reconciliation is to build trust, and respect between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians and to act against racism. We will better understand the conscious and unconscious bias to help us to lower prejudice and increase our understanding and knowledge of the First Nations People of Australia's histories and cultures. By developing our knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and perspectives, we will respectfully incorporate these into our daily practices. We aim to make our preschool a more inclusive and culturally safe and diverse space for staff, students and the wider community. Our vision for reconciliation will be based on careful and critical reflection, but be forward-thinking and aspirational. Our vision for reconciliation will be based and measured on the five dimensions of reconciliation: historical acceptance; race relations; equality and equity; institutional integrity and unity. We understand that these five dimensions are interrelated and that reconciliation cannot be seen as a single issue but to address all of these together.
