At Goodstart Early Learning, Ligar Street, Sunbury, we are dedicated to creating an environment of respect, understanding, and inclusion. Our vision for reconciliation is rooted in the belief that it can only be achieved through mutual respect and the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories, and contributions.
We respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the Traditional Custodians of the Land and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We respect their ongoing connections to the Land, which has been cared for and nurtured for thousands of years.
Our commitment to reconciliation is driven by the desire to create a community where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are respected and culturally safe, where all children, staff, and families are supported to learn about and respect First Nations peoples, perspectives and cultures.
Through education, collaboration, and building strong partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, we strive to promote respect, equality, and equity. We are dedicated to ensuring our centre remains a culturally safe and inclusive space for everyone.
At Goodstart Ligar Street, reconciliation is not just a process, but a way of life, reflecting our commitment to respect and representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within the local community.
