At Grow Early Education Darling Heights, we acknowledge the Giabal and Jarowair Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which our centre stands. We pay our deepest respects to their Elders past and present, and we honour their enduring connections to Country, culture, and community. Our vision for reconciliation is to continuously educate ourselves, the children, their families and the wider community about the past and present Custodians of the Land, by respectfully learning about the significant aspects of the Giabal and Jarowair Peoples and their cultures. As a team, we are committed to continuing to learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their cultures including traditions, stories and experiences. We are committed to respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives across our everyday practices, curriculum, and environment in meaningful and respectful ways. We believe that we can inspire the current and next generations on their reconciliation journey through conversation, learning, and play. We are committed to ensuring that our contributions to reconciliation are respectful, and impactful. We will continue to build strong, meaningful connections with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families, staff, and community members, moving forward to a future grounded in equity and mutual respect.
