At Sandcastles Chatswood 1, we recognise that reconciliation begins the with us as educators as we teach our youngest learners about reconciliation in education. We respectfully acknowledge the Cammeraygal People of the Eora Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we play, learn, and grow. We honour their deep and continuing connections to Country, culture, and community. Our vision for reconciliation is to nurture a preschool community that values respect, understanding, creativity, and connection with nature. We believe that every person can grow to be a thoughtful, inclusive and culturally aware individual. Through meaningful experienceswe recognise and learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures, perspectives, and histories. We are committed to building strong relationships with First Nations communities and respectfully embedding reconciliation into our everyday practice, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Together, with open hearts and minds, we walk the path of reconciliationtoday and into the future. Â
