St Patricks vision for reconciliation is to nurture a responsive school culture where every member of our community feels safe, supported, respected and valued. We honour our connections with the Awabakal people and are committed to cultivating and sharing a deep understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.
For us, a reconciled Australia is one where communities live in harmony, united by mutual understanding, awareness and acknowledgement of First Nations histories and truths. We believe reconciliation is achieved through listening, learning and building genuine connections.
At St Patricks, we are dedicated to fostering respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, local Elders and leaders throughout the wider community. Our teachers commit to ongoing professional and personal learning so they can teach with confidence and ensure that reconciliation and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives are authentically embedded in all aspects of our school practice.
