Goodstart Hillside

Goodstart Early Learning recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and as the Custodians of the Land on which we all live and work. Our vision for reconciliation is for everyone who works within our organisation, to engage with reconciliation on both a personal and professional level, fostering a learning environment that advocates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social justice, equality and equity. Through this vision, we are laying the foundations to grow future generations that value and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and heritages as a proud part of a shared identity. We acknowledge the link Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to the ancient history of Australia through the land from which our early learning environments have been created. Goodstart Early Learning Hillside is committed to building partnerships based on trust, respect and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as enduring, the world's longest living cultures and we respect and value the cultural insights of First Nations peoples as we establish strong connections between Goodstart Early Learning Hillside and the children, families and communities with whom we work. On a foundation of equity, integrity and respect we create high quality early learning experiences and environments for all children. Goodstart Early Learning Hillside commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians and supports equality and equity in education and employment.
