At Goodstart Early Learning - Roxburgh Park Sommeville Drive, we are truly committed to reconciliation with Australia’s First Nations peoples.
We respect and acknowledge the contributions of First Nations peoples. Our Reconciliation Action Plan supports us to work with Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Elders of the Kulin Nation, and to support our teams in building a stronger partnership with First Nations communities. We hope to develop a future generation of citizens with a deeper awareness, respect and appreciation of the rich cultural heritage of our First Nations peoples. We will communicate with our families and local communities on our progress and path to our commitment to reconciliation.
We have embedded Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives throughout our programs, centre as well as our practices as a stepping stone into a pathway of social and cultural inclusion. We acknowledge the importance of embedding First Nations peoples’ cultures into our everyday practice. Our centre and team are committed to educating ourselves and constantly reflecting to improve our practices to ensure First Nations peoples’ cultures and heritages is at the heart of our learning and everything that we do.
We strive to foster equality and equity in implementing our educational program and to be a safe and welcoming environment for all.
