Our vision is to respect and acknowledge the unique connection that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have with the Lands on which early learning centres across Australia are situated, and help to build genuine, respectful relationships with all children and families who attend these centres. We are dedicated to ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are actively recognised for being Australia’s First Nations peoples and we are committed to gaining a deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and learning.
Our focus will be to continue developing genuine, respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities of Goodstart Early Learning Banff Ave. We embed an awareness of and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures into our programs that promote an understanding of diversity and inclusiveness. This will lead to a high degree of empathy would develop in the relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous members of our community, and that a growing desire for reconciliation would be maintained.
We show our respect, through building deep connections, making positive changes and building on our knowledge and understanding.
We want to create awareness, change, peace, and unity for the future generations.
