Balranald Early Learning Centre recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which our early childhood services are offered. Our vision for reconciliation is for our service to engage with reconciliation on both a personal and professional level, creating the conditions that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social justice, equality and equity. Through this vision, we are establishing an inclusive, culturally responsive learning environment.
The opportunity Balranald Early Learning Centre has in influencing and educating current and future generations of Australians to respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories fuels our ambition now and for the future. Balranald Early Learning Centre is committed to building partnerships based on trust, respect and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures as enduring, living cultures, and we respect and value the cultural insights that we gain through establishing strong links between Balranald Early Learning Centre and the children, families and communities with whom we work. On a foundation of equity, integrity and respect we continue to create and improve culturally safe early learning experiences for all children.
