Community Kids Goodna Early Education Centre

At Community Kids Goodna Early Education Centre, we believe our environment should reflect the people, cultures, and stories within it. We acknowledge our responsibility to the children, families, and wider community to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our service each day through our practices, pedagogy, and procedures. We recognise and value the contributions of local First Nations community members, whose knowledge and perspectives strengthen our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, and histories. We actively invite the local community to engage with our service, enriching learning for all stakeholders and supporting ongoing reconciliation. Through these partnerships, we strive to build a community of action that ensures a culturally safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone. Our vision includes embedding local First Nations pedagogies and honouring the voice of jarjums, recognising children as active contributors in shaping a future that celebrates diversity and inclusion. We are committed to supporting our team to confidently and respectfully incorporate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into everyday practice. Through strong governance and leadership, we ensure our learning environments are inclusive and reflective of diverse perspectives. Meaningful relationships with Traditional Custodians and strong community connections are essential to creating culturally safe learning spaces. We value the voices of families and carers and provide ongoing opportunities for them to contribute to the wellbeing, cultural safety, and shared identity of our service.
