Our vision, at Goodstart Somerville, is to foster an environment which recognises, values, accepts and respects the cultures and rights of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We are committed to building and maintaining respectful partnerships and connections with the First Nations People in our area, deepening our understanding and knowledge of their histories and diversity, while providing a culturally safe environment that is inclusive and promotes equality and equity.
We aim to respectfully embed the learnings from these partnerships and connections, and from professional learnings and resources, into our curriculum, educating not only ourselves but the families and children within our service and the broader community.
