Charleville Early Learning Centre

We Value – We Recognise - We Believe - We Are Committed

We value and recognise the voices and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our community. We recognise our role and responsibility to provide programs that are culturally safe for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.

We believe in building authentic partnerships and strong connections with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We believe that the future wellbeing of all Australians depends on how we recognise the rights of the First Nations peoples, fostering respectful and positive relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people.

We respectfully learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures, sharing our understanding about the injustices which continue to impact on the First Peoples of Australia since colonisation. We are committed to ensuring the contributions we make to reconciliation are powerful and valuable, providing a service that will support all children, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, to thrive in Early Childhood setting with understanding and respect for First Nations cultures and communities.
