Goodstart Early Learning, Morwell Central believe that as a nation Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children should be able to benefit from education and learning opportunities like any other child. We truly value each First Nations person as the First Peoples of Australia through a deep respect and understanding. As Australians actively working towards reconciliation, we embrace unity between First Nations peoples and other Australians by promoting equality and equity, historical acceptance of our own shared history and removal of discrimination and negative race relations. As a centre we also believe that reconciliation is about relationships, respect and trust. Through reconciliation we strengthen the relationships between the wider Australian community and our First Nations peoples for the benefit of all Australians. Our reconciliation action plan is a formal statement of our commitment to reconciliation, underpinned by three key themes of, relationships, respect and First Nations people's empowerment. By making this commitment Goodstart Early Learning, Morwell Central proudly aims to: Enrich the lives of our staff, children, families, volunteers and the wider community through a deeper understanding and connection to Braiakaulung people of the Gunaikurnai Nation, and to also provide opportunities for First Nations peoples to have input and contribute into our programs. We will endeavour to engage with our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander staff, community and Elders to support the centre.
