Our vision for Reconciliation at SCECS OSHC St Vincent Ashfield is that we embrace unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and other Australians, and a national culture that represents equality and equity, historical acceptance of our shared history and removal of negative race relations. Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds, and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.Â
We are here to educate our children about the future whilst incorporating a sense of being, belonging and becoming at our centre. We at SCECS OSHC ST Vincent Ashfield provide children with a range of learning experiences in a respectful way which enhances children's knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, histories and perspectives. this will encourage the connectedness and understanding f the First Peoples of Australia within our centre and the broader community, maintaining positive relationships and links to the Darug (Darag, Dharug, Daruk, Dharuk) People which is being embedded throughout our Centre's curriculums and daily routines.Â
Through understanding, collaboration and mutual respect, we strive to build a society that values and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples, cultures, histories and contributions. Together, we can create a harmonious and inclusive future where all voices are heard, and all people are treated with dignity and equality.Â
