Busy bees on Ashdale

At Busy Bees on Ashdale, we respectfully acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we operate. We extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia, recognising their deep cultural histories, ongoing contributions, and unbroken connection to Country. We are committed to fostering a culturally safe and inclusive environment where children can develop respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, perspectives, and histories. These values are embedded in our daily practices, curriculum, and learning environments. As part of our ongoing journey toward reconciliation, we are proud to announce our collaborative partnership with local First Nation organisations. These partnerships strengthens our ability to engage authentically with First Nations communities and supports our educators with culturally informed training and guidance. Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) guides us in deepening our understanding and strengthening our commitments. We continue to reflect on and improve our policies, practices, and relationships to ensure they align with our vision for reconciliation. We are dedicated to supporting our educators through ongoing professional learning that builds their confidence in delivering culturally responsive education. Together, we aim to nurture a generation of children who are aware, respectful, and inclusive of all cultures, especially the rich and enduring cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
