Precious Cargo Montessori Child Care and Early Learning

Precious Cargo is committed to building strong community partnerships based on mutual trust and respect. We respect and value the insights that we gain as we establish close relationships between Precious Cargo and the First Nations children, families, employees and communities with whom we work. We recognise the unique cultural rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Precious Cargo commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all other Australians and supports strengthening equality and equity in education and employment.  

Precious Cargo's philosophy is focused on providing an inclusive environment that promotes a sense of belonging to each child, their family members, staff and the members of the wider community. This is demonstrated throughout our Reconciliation Action Plan. We believe that the future wellbeing of all Australians depends on respectful and positive relationships and a co-existence of rights between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all other Australians.  To achieve this, we will actively and reflectively listen to the voices, perspectives and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as we work towards fostering an equal and equitable society for all people.  

We recognise and celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge, cultures, languages, customs, stories and connections to place and Country. We respect this diversity, which is reflected throughout our Reconciliation Action Plan and celebrated through our reciprocal relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our service and the greater community. We want to enrich the education of everyone we work with through promoting fairness and equity, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories, perspectives and cultures underpinning all that we do.  

Always was, always will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land.
