At Goodstart Early Learning Estella, we respect and acknowledge, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we learn, work and play, the Wiradjuri people, and extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise the ongoing strength and resilience of First Nations peoples and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and heritages as part of our shared national identity. We pay our respect to Elders past, present, and emerging for their invaluable contributions within our communities. We are dedicated to learning, embracing and celebrating the rich traditions, cultures, languages, practices, contributions and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are committed to caring for Wirdjuri Country, the Sky and Waterways and understanding the interconnectedness of all living things. By connecting with our local community and beyond, we provide educational experiences that celebrate cultural diversity, fostering a strong sense of belonging and take meaningful steps in our journey towards reconciliation.
