Royal North Shore Hospital School's vision for reconciliation is to create a culturally safe and inclusive environment in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are empowered and their cultural identity is respected and celebrated. Our vision is to be a nation that fosters relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to build authentic connections that promote understanding, healing and justice, to strengthen our collective efforts towards reconciliation.
Our school is committed to nurturing an environment that respects, values and acknowledges the rich heritage and contributions of the Cammeraygal people of the Eora Nation and their connection to the land and waters in which we live, work and play. Our curriculum vision will be rich with Cammeraygal history, stories and perspectives, ensuring the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this Land are acknowledged and celebrated. This will be at the forefront of students learning, to further create the cultural knowledge and understanding needed by the generations to unite an equal and equitable future.
Our community of staff are committed to ongoing education to appreciate and develop our cultural knowledge of the Country on which we work and embed this knowledge into daily practices. This creates a place of teaching and learning that is culturally inclusive, where diversity is acknowledged, and the longest living culture is celebrated.
