Our vision for reconciliation is that Arcadia Vale Public School continues to grow as a community where everyone, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, and families feel welcome, safe, and free to express their individual identity. We commit to telling the truth of our nation and to recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories, along with their diverse and dynamic natures. We commit to honouring the resilience and strength of First Nations peoples and acknowledging their deep connections with, and care of, Country. We are committed to providing ongoing opportunities for all staff to build cultural awareness and to ensure staff and students acknowledge and value the significant contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples make to Australian culture and society.
