Commitment to Inclusion and Diversity

 Acknowledgement

It is a privilege to be living and working on the lands of Biripi people. It is upon their ancestral lands that Wauchope Little Learners is situated.

We respectfully acknowledge the past and present traditional owners and custodians of the land and acknowledge the wisdom and diversity of past and present Elders.

We share commitment to nurturing the future generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the communities in which we work.

We must take time to reflect and take up the challenge to open our eyes to understand the story of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This land has held a deep spiritual significance.

We acknowledge the attachment and spiritual connection the First Nations people have with this country. Through generations, the story and spirit of the people have been written into this land.

We acknowledge the people’s relationship with the land and all creation.

We also extend our acknowledgement to all other cultural groups that have contributed to the country we live in today.

Diversity Statement

At Wauchope Little Learners we celebrate diversity and innovation.

We embrace creating a connected organisation which enables all service users, employees, students, contractors, and volunteers to feel safe from discrimination.

We support an inclusive environment where people of all genders and ages, people living with a disability, First Nations people and people from LGBTIQA+ and CALD communities feel empowered to contribute their experiences and ideas; knowing that these will be valued.
