Goodstart Rowville - Liberty Avenue

At Goodstart Liberty Avenue Rowville, our vision for reconciliation is to create a culturally safe, inclusive, and respectful environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and contributions are recognised, valued, and embedded in our everyday practice.   We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we live, work, learn, and play, and we honour their continuing connection to Country, culture, and community. We recognise that reconciliation is an ongoing journey that requires listening, learning, reflection, and meaningful action.   Through genuine partnerships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, we are committed to continuing to build and maintain  respectful relationships grounded in trust, consultation, and collaboration. We will continue to  ensure that our programs, policies, and practices reflect cultural responsiveness and uphold the rights and voices of First Nations peoples.   We foster understanding and respect among children, educators, and families by meaningfully  embedding diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our play-based curriculum in ways that are authentic, informed, and developmentally responsive .  We continue to celebrate the richness and diversity of all cultures, with a dedicated commitment to strengthening knowledge and respect for Australias First Nations peoples.  Guided by the RAP framework and dimensions of reconciliation relationships, respect, opportunities, governance, and integrity we commit to continuous learning, unlearning and relearning through continuous improvement and by reflecting on how we remain  accountable to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people we work in partnership with.. We will continue to contribute to a more equitable and united Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures, histories, and contributions are recognised as a central part of  our shared national identity.
