Principles in Action: Sustainability

APST aligned

Grounded in the EYLF V2.0 Sustainability Principle, this session supports educators to explore sustainability as a connected and multidimensional concept, encompassing environmental, social, and economic perspectives.
 
Together, we will unpack what sustainability looks like in practice and how it can be meaningfully embedded into everyday pedagogy. Educators will build their understanding of how to support children to recognise the interdependence between people, animals, plants, land, and water, while developing the skills and dispositions needed to become active, informed citizens.
 
This session is designed to be practical and reflective, helping you move beyond surface-level approaches and into intentional, inclusive practices that contribute to fair and sustainable communities—now and into the future.

Principles in Action: Equity, Inclusion and High Expectations

  • How can early childhood professionals ensure that their services are inclusive and equitable to all families?  
  • Can children with additional needs from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds engage in the program at the same level as their peers?  


Inclusion, equity and high expectations is a challenging topic for most educators, but there are many ways that we can change our practice to benefit all families and children attending our services! 

This 2-hour-session will explore the concepts of equity, inclusion and high expectations, and help educators to reflect on these concepts and their current practice.
