We have a Reconciliation Action Plan published on Narragunnawali.

One of our actions for Reconciliation is to introduce the children to local Yorta Yorta words.
We have named our rooms using Yorta Yorta words.

Our Acknowledgement of Country
We at Wyndham Early Learning, acknowledge and pay our respects to the Yorta-Yorta people as the Original and Ongoing Owners and Custodians of the Land on which our service is built. We also acknowledge our neighbouring community, The Bangarang People. We pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging.
Our Vision for Reconciliation
Wyndham Early Learning’s vision for reconciliation is to create equality and equity in educational outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and to build respectful relationships between First Nations peoples and the wider Australian community. We are developing a passion for learning more about local First Nations Peoples and respectfully educating the non-Indigenous community about the local histories of Yorta Yorta Country.
Our hope is that we can respectfully embed First Nations perspectives into our everyday rhythms and routines that showcase the experiences and perspectives of local First Nations communities.
