We are committed to equality and the belief that all children are capable, competent beings regardless of their cultural background and abilities. Educators will create an environment that actively encourages children to have a positive attitude towards, and respect for diversity, including the diverse backgrounds and abilities of others. We value the importance of incorporating the cultures of all children as well as promoting greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural values. We respect each family’s values, beliefs, religion and culture, acknowledging that children come from a diverse range of backgrounds and we recognise that such diversity contributes to the richness of our centre and the broader community.
