Young Street Kindergarten's vision for reconciliation is for a strong understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories and cultures and these to be respectfully integrated into our daily curricula and interactions with children and families.
We will respectfully include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives and cultures every day, respectfully engaging with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and incorporating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories and cultures within our everyday programming.
By engaging our kinder community in respectfully learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories and cultures, we aspire to develop a broader understanding and acknowledgement of the First Peoples of Australia, and for this information to be extended further as the children and families move into wider community groups.
We aspire to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our service feel a sense of belonging to our kindergarten, and endeavour to continue to build strong connections within the wider community.
