Indigenous Program
Indigenous Program & Learning
At Flinders Preschool, we strongly believe in embedding First Nations perspectives into the program.
The Kinder embraces Indigenous perspectives and this is evident around the kinder with our Totem poles, flag displays and artwork, Aboriginal stories, puzzles and perspectives are part of the everyday experience.
We actively teach that we are on Boon Wurrong/ Bunurong Country. An Acknowledgement to Country is regularly spoken with and by the children and we talk about respecting the Country we’re on.
NAIDOC, Reconciliation Week and other dates are recognised and expressed through children’s artwork, song, story and dramatic play.
Our educators are committed to embedding Indigenous culture and perspectives, participating in workshops and cultural learning through the local Bunnerong community. They are developing our Statement and are committed to children learning about Aboriginal perspectives.

Flinders Preschool acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first Australians and recognise that they have a unique relationship with the land and water. We also recognise the Mornington Peninsula is home to the Boon Wurrung / Bunurong members of the Kulin Nation, who have lived here for thousands of years and who have traditional connections and responsibilities for the land we walk on.
We pay our respects to all Elders past & present.
