Goodstart Early Learning Aitkenvale 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. We acknowledge the link we have with the ancient and continuing histories of Australia through the Land from which our early learning environments have been created. Goodstart Early Learning Aitkenvale is committed to building relationships based on trust, respect and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as enduring, living cultures and we respect and value the cultural insights that we gain as we establish strong links between Goodstart Early Learning Aitkenvale and children, families and communities within our community. Our vision is to show respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Lands, cultures, spirituality, traditions and continuing contributions. Our aim is to work together so that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, and all children, have equal and equitable opportunities to learn and develop.
