At St Pauls OSHC, reconciliation means creating a learning environment where respect, recognition, and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, cultures, histories, and contributions are central to our daily practice. We acknowledge the ongoing connection of the Wodi Wodi People, the Traditional Custodians of  this Land, and all First Nations peoples across Australia. Our commitment to reconciliation is rooted in building genuine relationships and partnerships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, whose perspectives have deeply shaped our shared vision. We strive to embed First Nations worldviews in our programs, ensuring that children develop knowledge, respect, and empathy that will guide them as future community leaders.
To achieve this vision, we actively commit to fostering cultural safety and inclusion within our service by honouring and acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures. Our journey is one of continuous reflection and action, dedicated to contributing to a reconciled future where the wisdom of Elders is respected, diverse perspectives are embraced, and equal opportunities are upheld for all.
