Goodstart Hawthorne

Goodstart Early Learning Hawthorne recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we all live and work.   Our vision for reconciliation is for our educators, children and families to engage with reconciliation on both a personal and professional level, promoting understanding equality and equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through this vision, we are laying the foundations to grow future generations that value and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' cultures and heritages as a proud part of a shared Australian identity.   Goodstart Hawthorne is committed to building partnerships based on trust, respect and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures as enduring, living cultures and we respect and value the cultural insights that we gain as we establish strong links between our centre and the children, families and First Nations communities with whom we work.   On a foundation of reconciliation we create high quality early learning experiences for all children. Goodstart Hawthorne commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider Australian community and supports closing the gap in equity and equality of education, employment and positive life outcomes.
