(a) Describe in detail three (3) ways you could create an embracing environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families in your service.
1. We could create an embracing environment by displaying the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flags It is important that the flags are displayed correctly and appropriately.
2. We could display the ‘Acknowledgment of Country’ that has been personalised to our Centre.
3. We could provide a wide variety of resources such as books, puzzles, musical instruments etc. that provide or reflect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
(b) Describe in detail three (3) ways Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and community members could work in partnership with the service.
1. We could Invite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to come to our service to participate by sharing their cultural knowledge, helping to make decisions to improve the service, share their language and show us how to use it appropriately and participate in activities that celebrate their culture with staff and children. This will demonstrate that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and beliefs are valued at our Centre.
2. We could connect with local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community members who may be able to assist with sourcing and selecting culturally appropriate resources.
3. Connect with local support service and community run operations that may assist with providing knowledge, equipment, support etc to come into the service and help in any way. These may include but are not limited to: “The Indigenous Schooling Support Unit (ISSU) library http://education.qld.gov.au/information ... aries/atsi has a comprehensive collection including books, DVDs, puzzles, artefacts, puppets, and toys with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander focus. Resources can be borrowed for four weeks. Membership is free and open to staff of Education, Training and the Arts, teachers, students and the general public.” (Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People: Starting Points, Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority, July 2014, https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/downloads/p ... points.pdf)
