Goodstart Cairns vision for reconciliation is to commit to building meaningful relationships with and exploring the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' cultures, heritages, histories, traditions and continuing contributions.
Our vision is for children and educators to respectfully acknowledge the First Nations Peoples of Australia's cultures and histories by respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives throughout the service.
We aim for all children to listen to others and respect different ways of becoming one.
