Our vision
Our vision for Cairns ECC is for our children to grow up safe, cared for and respected. Our children and families will experience a warm, welcoming approach with nurture at the forefront of our ethos. We will ensure our children are supported to reach their full potential through collaborative working with our families and our partner agencies. Inclusivity is promoted by putting the child and their family at the Centre, and by having relationships at the heart of everything we do, we build knowledge of our children and families’ individual circumstances, allowing us to plan to meet their individual needs in a way that is right for them. Children are respected through their rights to be safe, to be cared for and to play, all facilitated to their right to an education which is right for them.
