Active Kids

Our vision for reconciliation is to ensure we are providing a culturally safe and inclusive environment where educators, children and families are given the opportunity to build authentic learning and understandings about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their cultures, histories, and perspectives. We provide opportunities to build the respect and understanding to promote reconciliation between First Nations peoples and non-Indigenous Australians in our Early Learning Community.  

We strive for all families, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, to experience respectful relationships and curriculums that authentically consider the histories and cultures of the Traditional Custodians, and for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander employees to experience respectful and equitable opportunities. 

We will continue to provide children with access to facilitated learning experiences with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members in a respectful way which enhances children's knowledge and understanding of First Nations peoples of Australia’s heritages and encourages connectedness to First Nations peoples within our centre and broader community. 

We commit to build and maintain positive relationships and links to the Bediagal people of the Eora Nation which are respectfully embedded throughout our educational program and daily routines. Our commitment to reconciliation can facilitate change in the current and future generations. Developing awareness, knowledge and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories will reap benefits in children from an early age. By exploring issues of fairness, justice, equity, and equality. We hope to develop a sense of belonging in those future generations, leading to a community where reconciliation will be strong and ongoing.
