At Goodstart Deeragun believe that it is important to recognise Australia’s true history, and gain an understanding of the importance of the First Peoples of this country.
We acknowledge and value diversity, equity, equality and inclusion, celebrating the contributions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures to our shared history and in contemporary society.
We believe in empowering our educators, children and families with knowledge about reconciliation and opportunities to build respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. We are committed to including and embracing our educators, children’s and families’ cultural backgrounds throughout our service.
