Goodstart Burpengary - Buckley Road

At Goodstart Burpengary Buckley Rd we recognise that reconciliation begins with respectful relationships, relationships that honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Custodians of the Lands on which we live, learn and grow.   

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which our centre stands, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.  

We are committed to deepening our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples histories, cultures and their ongoing contributions.   

Our vision for reconciliation is to foster a harmonious and inclusive Australia one built on mutual respect, cultural understanding and equal and equitable opportunities for all. We believe that reconciliation is more than a statement; it is action through education, relationships and reflection. At Goodstart Burpengary Buckley Rd  we aim to: Embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and voices into our everyday practice and curriculum. Create a learning environment where every child develops a strong sense of identity, belonging and respect for diversity. Engage with our local community and First Nations organisations to learn from and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Encourage educators, children and families to participate in ongoing learning, reflection and conversations about reconciliation. Promote an environment where racism and prejudice have no place and where kindness, understanding and unity guide our words and actions. We believe that through connection, collaboration and compassion we can contribute to a reconciled Australia one that recognises the strength and resilience of First Nations peoples and embraces the shared responsibility of all Australians to walk together towards a brighter more inclusive future.
