At Goodstart Craigieburn, we recognise and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Goodstart Craigieburn stands. We are committed to continuing to build partnerships with First Nations people, based on trust, respect, and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Â Â Â
On a foundation of equity, equality, integrity and respect, we aim to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people grow up safe, and cared for in family, community and culture, and continue to engage and participate in high quality early learning experiences planned and set up for them. Â Â Â
We will continue to educate children, educators and families about the rich cultures and heritages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Â Â Â
We will continue to establish opportunities for all children to have a deepen and more meaningful understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's cultures, histories and contributions, to advance reconciliation, promote respect and foster acceptance within our community. Â Â Â
Our vision is the future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are actively recognised as the First Nations People of Australia; where everyone respects Elders past, present and future for the wisdom and knowledge they hold and where emerging leaders in local communities are supported.
