Goodstart Early Learning Banksia Grove recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations peoples of Australia. We acknowledge the Whadjuk Noongar people as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the Land on which our early childhood service is located. Goodstart Banksia Grove is committed to building ongoing partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that are built on trust, respect and responsiveness.
We will commit to respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, and we strive to continue to establish and maintain strong partnerships between educators and staff the children, families and communities we work with. We strive to create equal and equitable early years learning experiences for all children.
Goodstart Banksia Grove commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all other Australians.
