At Thornleigh West OOSH, we would like to acknowledge the Dharug Peoples, who have nurtured and cared for the Land on which our service stands since long before the service was established. We acknowledge the diversity of First Nations peoples and cultures within the community and strive to respectfully learn from Traditional Custodians about caring for Country. We will work collaboratively with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as we deepen our understandings of First Nations knowledge and perspectives, and respectfully share these learnings with children, educators and the wider community. 

Our vision is to meaningfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and contributions into our everyday program, practices and environment. We embed respectful experiences that explore fairness, justice, equality and equity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people. We recognise that our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a living document, that is constantly growing, and we are committed to continuous learning throughout this process.
