Our vision for reconciliation is to continue providing children with a range of learning experiences in a respectful way to enhance children's knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' heritages and encourage connectedness with Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples within our centre and community. We will maintain positive relationships with the Awabakal people, whose histories and cultures will be respectfully included throughout our centre’s program and daily routines.  

We will continue developing and maintaining strong relationships with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our community and connect with the Traditional Custodians the Awabakal people, to collaborate with on our centre’s reconciliation journey.  

We will continue to strengthen the knowledge and understanding of our team about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and heritages and the importance of sharing the continued significance of their cultures, perspectives and contributions within our service and community in a respectful manner.  

Our educators maintain sustainable practices and continue to be inspired by longstanding and continuing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' cultures, contributions and practices. We use this inspiration to create meaningful and appropriate contemporary learning experiences about reconciliation in education.  

We share regular information with our families regarding our Reconciliation Action Plan. We encourage families to be actively involved in our RAP and programming for whole service experiences. We will continue to drive reconciliation in our community and the Early Childhood Sector.  

 We support employment initiatives for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our local and broader community through connections with local high schools and higher education facilities.
