Wominjeka team,
We are very excited to share an update about our staff uniforms. We have been working closely with Hope Management and Rob to extend our uniform range to include Yarn Shirts. This decision follows ongoing conversations with educators about how we can strengthen cultural safety and inclusivity within our centre.
These shirts are an opportunity for us to visually represent the active role we are taking in creating a culturally safe environment. It is important that we understand the meaning behind the artwork and the stories of the First Nations artists who created them. An email with the artwork meanings and artist information has been attached, and these details will also be uploaded to Teams for Ambassadors to display within the service for families.
Uniform details: - The navy Yarn Shirt can be worn at any time throughout the year. - The pink Yarn Shirt can be worn during June for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Each pink shirt contributes a $2 donation directly to the foundation. - As these are part of our professional uniform, they must be worn respectfully with appropriate work bottoms.
Rob has generously offered to supply each staff member with one shirt in each colour. A link to order your shirts will be provided at the bottom of this email.
Please submit your shirt sizes by Friday, 27 March so we can ensure they arrive ahead of key events such as NAIDOC Week and Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Thank you for your support. Paige and Shaelee Hope Frankston Heights Reconciliation and Inclusion Ambassadors
