EYLF:

Providing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to see themselves, their identities and cultures reflected in their environment is important for growing a strong identity.                                                  

The history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander peoples is respectfully and truthfully
reflected through community involvement and culturally sensitive practices.                              

An intercultural space is created when educators seek out ways in which Western and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems work side by side.

EYLF:

Respect multiple cultural ways of knowing, doing and being and celebrate the benefits of diversity.

Culture and the context of the child’s family and wider community as central to children’s sense of being and belonging, and their successful lifelong learning.

EYLF:

Sustainability spans environmental, social, and economic dimensions which are intertwined.

Environmental sustainability: caring for our natural world and protecting, preserving and improving the environment.                                    

Social sustainability: inclusion and living peacefully, fairly and respectfully together in resilient local and global communities.

Economic sustainability: practices that support economic development without negatively impacting the other dimensions.                                  

In sustainable communities, the
requirements of humans, animals, plants, lands, and waters can be met now and for generations to come.
