St Joseph's College

St Joseph’s College stands on the Land of the Wallamattagal people. We acknowledge, honour and recognise the Traditional Custodians of the Land; we acknowledge the need to foster equality and equity by addressing the injustices experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples since colonisation. We recognise the continued strength, resilience and capacity demonstrated by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples in the face of discrimination. We will celebrate and contribute to shaping a shared and active appreciation of the richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures - the oldest living cultures on the planet; we pay our deep respects to all Elders past and present. St Joseph’s College believes that reconciliation can only become a reality when there is a deep appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and an opportunity to celebrate these cultures, and their place as part of our national heritage.  St Joseph’s College’s vision for reconciliation is one of working together to listen and learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to build mutually respectful relationships whilst working alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to meet their needs and aspirations. St Joseph College’s staff members will continue to develop a high awareness and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and histories through engaging in high quality cultural awareness training enabling confidence and understanding to engage respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. St Joseph’s College is committed to being a culturally welcoming and safe college, with organisational policies and procedures, and recruitment and procurement practices that reflect this commitment, and we will strive to promote reconciliation internally and throughout the community.
