At Woy Woy Public School, we are committed to maintaining a culture of belonging and providing a culturally responsive environment where all people, children, and adults are challenged and supported to achieve their personal best. Our commitment to reconciliation is guided by our school's Strategic Improvement Plan and the three key themes of reconciliation: Relationships, Respect, and Opportunities. By making this commitment, we create a place of teaching and learning that is culturally inclusive, where aspirations are fostered, diversity is acknowledged and genuine conversations about closing the gap of equity and equality between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples.
We honour the Traditional Custodians of Country and seek to understand the complete story of our histories through listening and learning together. We act with compassion and curiosity aand focus on the strengths and diversities of all cultures. We work within systems that that require us to maintain deep connections and be a catalyst for change. We understand and contribute to a society of unity, equal and equitable opportunity, and respect for all people whilst still valuing cultural identities. We honour the strong ongoing connections we have with the community to promote and facilitate respect, trust, and positive relationships between the wider community and First Nations Peoples.
As we move into the future, Woy Woy Public School will ensure that our Reconciliation Action Plan is valued, embraced, and celebrated by our community in accordance with our vision for reconciliation.
