At Heathdene Preschool, we envision a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are recognised, respected and celebrated as the Traditional Custodians of this Land. We are committed to building relationships through genuine partnerships and mutual understanding. We strive to educate ourselves, the children, families and wider community about First Nations peoples, cultures and histories.
Together we are committed to respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in all aspects of our preschool. We strive to deepen our understanding of First Nations peoples’ histories, languages and heritages, embedding inclusive practices into our preschool, and committing to lifelong learning. We strive to ensure that every child feels a strong sense of belonging, connection and has an understanding about Dharawal Land on which we learn, play and grow.
