Goodstart Early Learning Yolanda Drive recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and as the Custodians of the Land on which our early childhood services are offered. Â We acknowledge the links Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have with the ancient and continuing histories of Australia through the Land from which our early learning environments have been created. Â We are committed to building partnerships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider Community, based on mutual trust, respect and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Â We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as enduring, living cultures of which we respect and value the cultural insights that we gain as we deepen our understanding and learnings and include these into our curriculum and practices. Â Our vision is to show respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their Lands, cultures, spirituality, and traditions and embed this respectfully throughout our Early Learning Service.
