Reconciliation Action Plan
Our Commitment to Reconciliation
At Kids Academy Early Learning, we believe every child deserves to grow up in a world built on respect, inclusivity, and a genuine connection to culture. That's why we're proud to be part of Affinity Education Group's reconciliation journey, a journey grounded in honest reflection, learning, and real action.
Affinity Education has developed its first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), endorsed by Reconciliation Australia. It sets out the practical steps we're taking to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, and cultures across our centres, our curriculum, and our team.
What Does This Mean for Families?
When your child comes to a Kids Academy centre, they're in an environment that genuinely celebrates and respects Australia's First Nations peoples. From Acknowledgements of Country to hands-on cultural learning, our educators bring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into everyday play and routines.
It also means we're creating welcoming, inclusive spaces for every family, where curiosity is encouraged, cultural learning is part of the everyday, and every child feels they belong.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan in Practice
Our Reflect RAP is just the beginning. It outlines how Affinity Education will:
- Providing cultural responsiveness training for all staff
- Partnering with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educators, artists, and organisations, including Wandana Aboriginal Education
- Celebrating cultural events such as National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week
- Creating more opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment and supporting First Nations-owned businesses
- Fostering inclusive practices across all Kids Academy centres
These commitments are embedded in our Lifelong Learning Curriculum, giving children the opportunity to learn about culture, land, stories, and community in ways that are meaningful and age-appropriate.
