At Redfern Cottage, we are committed to providing every child with a strong foundation for lifelong learning and well-being through quality early childhood education. We proudly acknowledge and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which our service operates. Our vision for reconciliation is to foster meaningful connections between all children, families, and educators by embracing and valuing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures, histories, and perspectives. We strive to support both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and non-Indigenous children in developing a deep understanding of social justice, equity, and respect. Through this commitment, we aim to nurture a community where reconciliation is lived daily, creating a foundation of mutual respect and shared identity that empowers future generations to celebrate and uphold the rich cultural heritages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as an essential part of Australias story.
