Goodstart Early Learning Reservoir respectfully acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and the Traditional Custodians of the Lands, Waterways, and Skies upon which our services are situated. We recognise the profound connection of First Nations peoples to the ancient histories of this Land and are committed to fostering respectful and trusting relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Our centre actively engages in reciprocal learning with children and families to actively engage with the enduring cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our educational programs are designed to empower children, educators and families to advocate for equality and equity, thereby contributing to the reconciliation process through the promotion of mutual respect and understanding. Goodstart Reservoir is dedicated to supporting reconciliation efforts by advancing equal and equitable opportunities and outcomes in education and employment for all Australians. We remain steadfast in our commitment to establishing meaningful partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and embedding our learnings about their cultures, perspectives and histories authentically within our curriculum and practices through ongoing community collaboration.
