Every child is welcomed with genuine warmth, and what they have to contribute is celebrated in each Jabiru community.

Peacefulness for a child is a genuine feeling of being safe with others and with themselves.

Each child has the same rights and responsibilities, equal access to resources, and is treated as an equal human being no matter what.

Jabiru communities are places that children can depend on.

In a Jabiru community each child knows that people around them see only the best in them and want only the best for them, in a deeply caring way.

Knowing about and showing care for the needs of others including complete strangers, is a sign of a strong community.

The Touchstone of Adventure is about taking risks and going into the unknown.

In a Jabiru community we share places, our stories, the things we know, and our time to listen to each other.

This Touchstone is about what we do when people’s feelings, relationships, even ideas, get hurt or broken in a Jabiru community.

Jabiru communities make space for every child, irrespective of their uniqueness, to be involved.
