Freckles Kindy and Learning Centre respectfully acknowledges and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait peoples, cultures, knowledge and perspectives.
We recognise the First Peoples of this continent, who’s Lands were stolen nearly 250 years ago. As Educators, we are committed to fostering reconciliation by building on our knowledge and understanding of the true histories of Australia and the ongoing impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We respectfully educate children on Gaibal and Jarowair Country.
We actively explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives in our curriculum and enrich children’s understanding and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and histories through culturally inclusive experiences.
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ ongoing connections to the Land and we commit to caring for the Country on which we learn and play.
