Adeona Early Exploration Centre

We are committed to maintaining a culturally safe and responsive educational curriculum in an environment where all educators are supported to develop their understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples true histories, cultures, heritage, values, and beliefs. We recognise this is an ongoing journey, one that requires reflection, humility, and a willingness to learn and grow together as a community.

By regularly reflecting on our educational practices and deepening our understanding of First Nations Peoples true histories and enriched cultural identities, we continue building safe and meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians. 

Our team are deeply passionate and committed to the reconciliation process. For our educators, this journey is a meaningful ongoing responsibility that reflects who we are and what we stand for. Reconciliation shapes our values, our educational practice, current and future generations relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider communities. We continue building authentic, genuine, and respectful relationships with our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. These relationships are the foundation of our educational learning and the heart of our ongoing commitment. We aim to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples enriched cultures and true histories across our daily practice and pedagogy. In doing so, we acknowledge the past, walk alongside the present, and contribute to a more just, equal and equitable future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, all children and families in our care. Adeona Cooraproo's vision for reconciliation recognizes the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.  We commit to respectfully establishing authentic, genuine, connections with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our wider community and acknowledge their cultures, true histories, ways of being, learning and play into educational daily practices and pedagogy.
