John Hunter Hospital School

At John Hunter Hospital School, our vision for reconciliation is to provide meaningful opportunities for staff, students, families and the wider community to meaningfully and authentically engage with Aboriginal and Torres peoples, cultures, knowledge, histories, perspectives, and contributions. We are committed to continuing in learning, unlearning and relearning about how to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our daily teaching and learning practices, as well as within staff meetings and professional development. 

Through continuing to embrace the values and worldviews of First Nations peoples, we are fostering strong, respectful relationships grounded in kindness and understanding. We will be intentional in how we continue strengthen our relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the community and take the time to reflect how vital role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples play in shaping our shared national identity. 

We take pride in nurturing a school culture that flourishes through this ongoing reconciliation journey, extending this commitment to the wider hospital community. Together, we teach everyone across our learning community the true histories of this place to create an educational environment that is authentic, inclusive, and a supportive place where every individual is empowered to learn, grow, and take actions to drive reconciliation.
