Our Commitment to Reconciliation
At Aussie Kindies Early Learning, we believe that helping children grow into kind, respectful and inclusive people starts in the early years. That’s why we’re proud to be part of Affinity Education Group’s Reconciliation journey - a journey built on reflection, learning, and meaningful action.
As part of this commitment, Affinity Education has developed its first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), endorsed by Reconciliation Australia. This plan outlines the steps we’re taking to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures - across our centres, our curriculum, and our organisation.
What does this mean for families?
It means that when your child attends an Aussie Kindies centre, they’re learning and growing in an environment that celebrates and respects Australia’s First Nations peoples. From Acknowledgements of Country to hands-on learning experiences, our educators thoughtfully weave Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into everyday routines and play.
It also means we’re creating welcoming, inclusive spaces for all families - places where children are encouraged to be curious, kind, and connected to their world.
What’s included in our RAP?
Our Reflect RAP is just the beginning. It outlines how Affinity Education will:
- Provide cultural responsiveness training for all educators and team members
- Partner with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educators, artists and organisations - including Wandana Aboriginal Education
- Celebrate important cultural events like National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week
- Create more opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment and support First Nations-owned businesses
- Foster inclusive practices across all centres, including Aussie Kindies Early Learning
These actions are part of our Lifelong Learning Curriculum, giving children the chance to explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, land, stories and community through respectful, play-based learning.
