With a school community that prides itself on inclusion and unity through diversity, International Grammar School (IGS) is committed to demonstrating leadership in our community through our own journey of reconciliation. We will continue to embrace First Nations people and perspectives; to foster equal, equitable and culturally responsive opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students;; and to support all members of our school community to learn about and appreciate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures through respectful collaborations with the local and wider First Nations community. A reconciled Australia is one that we can all benefit from to reach our full potential without the impediment of discrimination. As a school, we play a vital role in providing education for our stakeholders about reconciliation, with the duty to respectfully learn from and share knowledge with our community of practice and grow together to pave the way for reconciliation. We also actively understand the need to learn from our students and be open to the younger generation’s voices and aspirations, as these are the people that will guide our reconciliation journey. By setting and committing to a high standard in all that we do, we will continue to play our part in influencing others in our local and global community to help progress this journey to reconciliation.
