Wyndham City Council’s 23 kindergartens embraced the challenge of reconciliation by developing and implementing Reconciliation Action plans at each kindergarten involved. With the support of Traditional Owners and Elders and 200 local educators, Wyndham Kindergartens introduced strategies to increase kindergarten participation by Aboriginal children.
