Our vision for reconciliation at Goodstart Tiwi is rooted in respect, understanding, and inclusivity. We honor the legacy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and emerging, and recognise the Traditional Custodians of the Land where our service is located.
We are committed to forging genuine and meaningful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, that is built on mutual respect, inclusiveness, and trust. We understand the importance of reconciliation and we pledge to teach about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures, histories and perspectives with the utmost respect and dignity.
Our dedication extends to sharing knowledge with permission from First Nation peoples, respectfully with our staff, children, and families, fostering understanding and appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures.
Furthermore, we stand firmly against racism and strive to instil in our children, educators, and families the values of diversity and inclusivity within our Early Learning Centre. Through these efforts, we envision a future of reconciliation where all individuals feel valued, respected and included.
