Our vision for reconciliation is to look forward to a day when all Australians understand and value the longstanding and continuing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to our nation's shared histories and identity. It is important that we, as a country, recognise our true histories and the diverse past, present and continuing cultures and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We strive to ensure that we continue to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in all that we do. We acknowledge that it is a child’s right to learn about the Butchulla peoples and Land and are committed to reaching out to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples within our community to build respectful relationships and move forward together. As early childhood educators, we understand that ‘from little things big things grow’ and that a child's learning journey and reconciliation journey begins here.
