Reconciliation to the Annie Galvin Early Learning Centre community means working purposefully towards a shared understanding of, and respect for, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, contributions and histories.
We continue to learn, unlearn and relearn, promoting respect and equal and equitable opportunities for First Nations peoples. We authentically embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives and pedagogies in the curriculum and wider centre activities, including opportunities for both educators and children to learn about the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures, acknowledging Australia's true histories and our shared identity.
Annie Galvin ELC strengthens our relationships within the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, fostering opportunities for children to connect with the First Nations community, learn about First Nations pedagogies, and connect with, and care for, the Land and Dja Dja Wurrung Country.
