Goodstart Smithfield

Goodstart Smithfield is committed to advancing reconciliation through culturally responsive and inclusive practices. We actively build and sustain respectful, genuine relationships with the Kaurna community and local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.   We embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our daily programs in meaningful and authentic ways, ensuring our environment reflects respect, inclusivity, and a deep valuing of First Nations peoples cultures, histories, and knowledge.   Our learning environments promote understanding of the enduring connections Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to Country across Australia, and support children, educators and families to develop and deepen respect for these connections.  Goodstart Smithfield acknowledges the Kaurna people as the Traditional Owners of the Adelaide Plains, the Land on which we learn, play, and grow. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and recognise their ongoing connections to Country.
