Goodstart Early Learning Rockhampton is committed to building and maintaining meaningful and respectful partnerships with the local Darumbal community. We acknowledge the unique cultural rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and are dedicated to respectfully embedding First Peoples voices, perspectives and knowledge throughout our service and programs.Â
We strive to ensure that all staff, children and families learn alongside one another about the rich cultures, histories and ongoing contributions of the Darumbal people, and show respect to all First Nations peoples. Our service is committed to maintaining strong, genuine connections with children, families, educators and the wider community.Â
Goodstart Early Learning Rockhampton proudly supports reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all other peoples of Australia, and we continue to work towards a future built on respect, understanding and shared learning.       Â
