Goodstart Bundaberg - George Street

Goodstart Bundaberg – George Street Early Learning recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which our early childhood services are offered.  We acknowledge the significant opportunity Goodstart has in educating the next generations non-Indigenous Australians about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories, cultures and achievements. We acknowledge the link we have with the ancient history of Australia through the Land from which our early learning environments have been created. Goodstart is committed to building partnerships based on mutual trust, respect and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as enduring, living cultures and we respect and value the cultural insights that we gain as we establish strong relationship between Goodstart and the children, families and communities with whom we work. On a foundation of equity, equality, integrity and respect, we will create high-quality cultural learning experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives for all children, staff, families and the wider community. Goodstart commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians and supports Closing the Gap targets by providing quality early childhood education and care. . Goodstart George street recognises that ‘reconciliation is everyone’s business’, and we will provide opportunities for our centre and support networks to engage with reconciliation on both personal and professional levels.
