Goodstart Early Learning Horsham believes that both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and non-Indigenous children should have equal and equitable education and learning opportunities. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations Peoples of Australia with deep respect and understanding.  As Australians actively working towards reconciliation, we embrace the unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians by promoting equality and equity, historical acceptance of our shared histories and removal of discrimination and negative race relations. As a centre, we believe that reconciliation is about relationships, respect and trust. Through reconciliation we strengthen the relationships between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for the benefit of all Australians.  Goodstart Early Learning Horsham strives to enrich the lives of staff, children, families, volunteers and the wider community through a deep understanding of, and connection to, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We continue to provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to have input and contribute into our programs, appropriately engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, community and Elders. Goodstart Early Learning Horsham is a wholly inclusive centre that appreciates and respects all groups and cultures and incorporates learning and activities for children to grow in their knowledge of diversity and inclusivity.        Â
