From the heart

We acknowledge the Aboriginal Peoples as the first peoples of South Australia and as custodians of the lands, waters, skies and communities where we live, learn and raise children.

We recognise Aboriginal Peoples as having the longest living culture, raising children safe and strong in their identity, community, culture, and connection to country.

We pay our deep respects to Elders past and present, and their role as the first knowledge-sharers for children. We follow in their footsteps. Aboriginal Peoples, working with and for children, are central in shaping our work.

Their wisdom, advice, and guidance enrich our practices, creating a more inclusive and culturally safe environment for children and families. We respect Aboriginal Peoples’ ways of being doing and wise practices guiding our continual learning. Together we walk and build stronger, more supportive communities for all children.
