At Wings Early Learning Algester, we envision a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories, cultures, and contributions are respectfully embedded in our everyday practices as a vital part of our shared identity. Located on the Lands of the Yuggera and Turrbal peoples, we honour and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this Country. We are committed to building strong, respectful, and ongoing relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Our learning from these relationships, voices and knowledges guide our journey toward reconciliation. Our vision has been shaped through meaningful engagement with families, Educators, and community members. We believe reconciliation is a shared responsibility - one that involves truth-telling, mutual respect, and a commitment to equity, equality and justice for all Australians. We strive to maintain a strengths-based approach, recognising and celebrating the richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures and their contributions to education, community, and Country. Through inclusive and culturally safe practices, we aim to nurture children who are confident, respectful, and connected to the diverse stories that shape our Nation. Reconciliation is not a destination but an ongoing process. At Wings, we are dedicated to fostering a learning environment where all children grow with empathy, cultural understanding, and a strong sense of belonging—walking together toward a more united, equal and equitable future.
