St Patrick's vision for reconciliation is to create a positive culture where everyone in our school community feels safe, supported, respected and valued. We honour our Awabakal connections and aim to cultivate and share a deep understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's cultures.
To us, a reconciled Australia is a place of harmonious communities, unified by mutual understanding, awareness and acknowledgement of First Nation people's histories and truths. We believe achieving reconciliation requires listening, learning and connecting.
At St Patrick's we are committed to building respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, local Elders and leaders in the wider community. St Patrick's teachers commit to ongoing professional and personal learning, to teach confidently and support an authentic approach to reconciliation and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in all our school practices.
