Explorers Early Learning Werribee

At Explorers Early Learning Werribee, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we learn and play, and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We recognise that reconciliation is an ongoing journey, one that requires understanding, respect, and action.

We are committed to creating a culturally safe and inclusive learning environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives are embedded meaningfully in our curriculum, everyday interactions, and community connections. Through the sharing our understanding of the stories, language, cultural practices, and the many voices of Country, we aim to acknowledge and respect the rich histories and cultures of First Nations peoples.

We aim to build strong, respectful relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, ensuring opportunities for their voices to guide our practices. We strive to support children, families, and educators to be active participants in reconciliation, fostering a future where all First Nations peoples and cultures are respected, and every child grows up with a strong sense of identity, belonging, and respect for Country.

We are committed to continuously reflecting on our practices, seeking knowledge, and ensuring that the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are acknowledged and respected in meaningful ways. This is essential for the ongoing journey of reconciliation and building a more inclusive and respectful society.
