Goodstart Traralgon - Park Lane

Goodstart Early Learning, Traralgon - Park Lane believe that as a Nation all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children should be able to benefit from quality education and learning opportunities like any other child. We truly value each Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person as the First peoples of Australia. We are learning about what it means to develop a deep respect and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and perspectives. As a team, we will continue to actively work towards reconciliation.  We will embrace unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians by promoting equality and equity, historical acceptance of our own shared history and removal of discrimination and negative race relations. As a centre we also believe that reconciliation is about relationships, respect and trust. Through reconciliation we will foster relationships between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for the benefit of all Australians. Our reconciliation plan is a formal statement of commitment to reconciliation underpinned by three key themes of, relationships, respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's empowerment. By making this commitment Goodstart Early Learning, Traralgon Park Lane aims to: Enrich the lives of our staff, children, families, volunteers and the wider community through a deeper understanding of and connection to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to also provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to have input and contribute into our programs. We will endeavour to engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, community and Elders to support the centre. Goodstart Early Learning Traralgon Park Lane is a wholly inclusive centre that appreciates and respects all groups and cultures and incorporates learning and activities for children to grow in their knowledge of diversity and inclusivity.
