Report On Cultural Diversity In Your Workplace

[Mariska]

Hi, this is what I have written so far. Please let me know if I am on the write track. Not sure how to add a text from a website that I have highlighted in bold.

Question: 200 Words report on cultural diversity within your service or host organisation, and the local community where the service is located.

Mother Duck’s Philosophy is to respect, appreciate and celebrate each family’s unique home values and cultural background as well as promoting, understanding and awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, history and contemporary societies. (quoted from their website)
In class they use the “Yarning Circle” each morning before they ask each child were they would like to play. While they sit in their “Yarning Circle” the educator and the children will first start off with Acknowledging Traditional Owners and Acknowledging Elders by using the following format:
“I would like to pay respect to and acknowledge the people who are the Traditional Owners of this land we stand/meet on today. I would also like to pay my respects to the Elders past and present”
Mother Duck have a calendar of indigenous events that can be celebrated at the service such as NAIDOC week that we just recently had where each class created a art project representing NAIDOC week. With NAIDOC week they also invited indigenous performers for the children. In class there is a variety of resources such as puzzles, flags, books, maps music and posters for the children to explore with.

That's a good start. You have given a couple of examples on what the service does for cultural diversity...now you need to add some information about the local community...
