Yarralea Children's Centre recognises and acknowledges the diverse histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their unique spiritual, physical, and cultural connections to Country. We are dedicated, alongside children and families, to ongoing learning that deepens our understanding and knowledge of, and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples histories, cultures, contributions, and contemporary issues.
Our aim is to provide meaningful educational experiences and build on frameworks and inquiries that honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of being, knowing, and doing. As a community of educators and families, we are committed to reconciliation and recognise this as an ongoing journey. Yarralea Children's Centre works to create a culture and curriculum that fosters respect for equality, equity, and social justice. We empower all members of our educational community to become agents of change for a more just and inclusive society where reconciliation can thrive. Â
We acknowledge past and continuing injustices, atrocities and genocide experiences by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and walk in solidarity towards a future of healing, justice and reconciliation. Â Â
