Goodstart Early Learning Yolanda Drive recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and as the Custodians of the Land on which our early childhood services are offered. We acknowledge the links we aim to have with the ancient and continuing histories of Australia through the Land from which our early learning environments have been created.
We are 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 of which we respect and value the cultural insights that we gain as we establish strong links between Goodstart Early Learning Yolanda Drive, its children, families and communities that lie within our reach.
Our vision is to show respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their Lands, cultures, spirituality, and traditions and embed this respectfully throughout our Early Learning Service.
