Our vision for reconciliation is centered around actively acknowledging and respecting the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, alongside First Nations people and communities throughout Australia. At Only About Children, Woori Yallock, we recognize the significance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, both past and present, and their enduring connections to the Land.
We are dedicated to valuing the cultural diversity within our community. Our vision is to cultivate an early learning service culture committed to building meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This commitment aims to deepen our mutual respect and understanding, fostering an environment where cultural diversity is celebrated and appreciated.
To achieve genuine reconciliation, it is essential to acknowledge the past hurts and colonial injustices inflicted upon First Nations peoples. We recognize the ongoing impact of these injustices today and honor the continued strength and resilience of First Nations peoples and cultures.
Only About Children, Woori Yallock is committed to celebrating the rich diversity and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Even as a small community, we strive to highlight the richness of these cultures and their invaluable contributions to our society.
As a service, we are dedicated to fostering a welcoming and safe environment. Our aim is to create a space that is supportive, inclusive, and celebrates the cultures and diversity of our community, with a particular focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Together with our children and families, we will work and walk towards a positive and shared future of reconciliation. This future is built on strong relationships and ensures that the rights, interests, and well-being of First Nations peoples are championed and valued. We believe in a future where reconciliation is not only a vision but a shared reality.
