The Manor Kindergarten committed to respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, perspectives and cultures throughout our programs. We acknowledge and celebrate the ongoing achievements and contributions of First Nations peoples, past, present and future. Respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures is woven into our teaching, practice, and community, including children, families and educators. We aim to foster meaningful on-Country learning and nurture deep connections to the Land, while promoting the importance of caring for Country and community. We provide inclusive environments that honour the histories, cultures and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise families and communities as the first teachers of cultural knowledge, and we are guided by their wisdom and leadership. We promise to actively listen, learn and contribute to reconciliation through genuine relationships, respect, and action.
