At Goodstart Roxburgh Park, reconciliation means that we facilitate the building of relationships, respect and trust between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our Vision is a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are recognised as being the First peoples of Australia. We envision a place where all Australians embrace Elders past, present and future for the wisdom and knowledge they hold and share and to support emerging leaders in local communities.
Our vision for reconciliation is to embrace Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and histories and respectfully embed these perspectives into our daily practices in rich and meaningful ways. We commit to partner with local representatives of the Traditional Custodians of the Land. We will actively reflect on our current level of cultural awareness and responsiveness and through these partnerships as weextend our knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures.
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ strong spiritual and cultural connection to Land, Country, Sea and Water and we will foster opportunities to grow our understanding and participation in caring for Country.
