C&K Mount Gravatt West Community Childcare Centre

At C&K Mount Gravatt West, we are deeply committed to fostering meaningful and respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families, and communities. We are dedicated to building strong partnerships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, Elders, and relevant services to create genuine connections that honour and celebrate culture.

We strive to educate and engage children, families, staff, and community members in ongoing reconciliation efforts. We recognise the importance of learning from local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and, where appropriate, respectfully sharing their knowledge, histories, cultures, and ways of life within our service.

Through this commitment to learning, C&K Mount Gravatt West aims to encourage and empower all educators to thoughtfully and respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into their everyday practices.

C&K Mount Gravatt West is committed to:

Creating a culturally safe and welcoming environment for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families.

Collaborating closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to support their children’s early learning journey and ensure a smooth transition to school.

Ensuring that all C&K staff deliver high-quality education and care with cultural integrity, promoting equitable and inclusive opportunities for all First Nations children.

Providing opportunities for all staff, children, families, and the wider community to learn and engage with the true histories, cultures, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Together, we acknowledge the past, celebrate the present, and work towards a shared future of respect, understanding, and reconciliation.
