Goodstart Noosaville strives to ensure each child is given the opportunity to play, discover and grow in an environment and atmosphere of care and mutual respect, where their dignity and rights are preserved at all times, and where we respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives and histories in all that we do. We recognise the unique cultural rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; and recognises the importance of establishing respectful and trusting relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community. We strive to move forward in a positive and productive direction and are committed to gaining a deeper understanding for the five critical dimensions that represent a holistic and comprehensive picture of reconciliation; race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity, unity and historical acceptance. We believe that, through building positive relationships and cooperative partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, we will contribute to strengthening essential knowledge and understanding of First Nations peoples perspectives and histories to create environments and learning programs that support the wellbeing, education and care of all the children, families, educators, students, and visitors at our centre.
