Newcastle Senior School

Newcastle Senior School has a shared vision for reconciliation across the Newcastle Schools community. Our vision is built on an active commitment to reconciliation, equality, equity, consistency, high expectations and authentic inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. We will continue to build and strengthen relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, communities and organisations. Education is the means to teach and shape childrens' beliefs and understandings of the world and, at Newcastle School, we are committed to instilling a belief in the importance of working towards an equitable, equal, and just society for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and a reconciled Australia for generations to come. Our reconciliation journey can and will be a positive influence in every child's journey. 

"... A reconciled Australia is one where our rights as First Australians are not just respected but championed in all the places that matter..."
