Goodstart Ferntree Gully

Goodstart Ferntree Gully acknowledges the hurt and suffering caused to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by colonization. We understand that reconciliation is essential for a just, inclusive, equitable, and culturally respectful community.

We are committed to promoting the rich cultures and histories of Australia’s First Peoples, the world's longest-living cultures. As educators and leaders, we strive to listen, learn, and adapt our thinking to respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and traditions.

We aim to embed these perspectives and traditions into our learning environment, using Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pedagogies to promote diversity and inclusiveness. We aspire to engage with the local Aboriginal community and Elders to build relationships and understand how to care for and respect Wurundjeri Land.
