Reconciliation Action Plan
Warooga Childcare Centre in Southern River has been working on our Reconciliation Action Plan and last week were excited to invite special members of our community to the launch event.
The Centre was grateful to our local Elder Catherine Bynes, together with Mayor of City of Gosnells, Teresa Lynes, who were able to assist with the ceremony and together with the children helped us plant some native trees to provide a lasting commemoration of the day. Sharna Mamid – Acting General Manager, Langford Aboriginal Association was also able to enjoy the day with the centre.
After the ceremony we were able to have an informal discussion with our guests, who provided valuable feedback on the high quality of our programs and we listened to suggestions for our ongoing reflection and improvement.
Warooga Child Care Centre recognises that we all have a part to play in the journey to reconciliation and our Centre is dedicated to being at the forefront of change in our community and beyond.
The Warooga Childcare reconciliation action plan was endorsed by reconciliation Australia in September 2022 and from there our vision for reconciliation was created. We have since liaised with Sharna Mamid to find meaningful and respectful ways to plan and deliver programs to our children and assist our Educators in the reconciliation process.
