At Goodstart Bowen we are committed to teaching and respectfully embedding the cultures, histories and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We believe we as educators have a part to play in reconciliation and giving children the opportunity to deepen their understandings of and respect for the histories and cultures of the First Nations People of Australia. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples deep connections with the Land andvalue the contributions that they make to Australian culture and society. We value the opportunity to learn from First Nations people and will build meaningful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. .
