Reconciliation
Our Vision Statement
We will create a welcoming space where we are willing to learn through deep listening and tuning in to the silence. Our reconciliation journey will evolve through our own reflections and conversations. We will learn and unlearn and make ourselves uncomfortable as we unpack true history. We endeavour to form partnerships and walk softly alongside members of the local First Nations people. In our special setting we feel embraced by Country. We will actively share our respect for Country with children and families as we spend time on Country.
Staff Training
On Tuesday 19th November 2024 the staff team will be working with Kirsty Rutherford, Education Project Officer from Reconciliation SA. The team will be participating in Education, Action and Change - anti-racism workshop in education with Kirsty.
The workshop has been designed to provide a brief introduction into anti-racism, and some foundational understanding on what racism is, the impacts of racism and how an anti-racism skill set can be used to put a stop to racism in education settings. 听
The intention of the work is to provide a springboard from which the team may embark upon or continue their own journeys into听anti- racism as educators. Whilst the workshop听has the potential to help support the team to understand and manage racism within WCCC more confidently, it may also encourage educators to actively make efforts which could contribute to the elimination of racism societally.
