VISION FOR RECONCILIATION

The Malkara School is committed to reconciliation by creating a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories and cultures are taught, celebrated, and respected by all Australians. 

At Malkara, we strive to address the two distinct needs and opportunities identified by the Australia Curriculum’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures Cross Curriculum Priority namely: 

•That Aboriginal and Torres students may see themselves, their identities and their cultures reflected in the curriculum, as well as, in their day-to-day school life; and  •That all students may come to appreciate, acknowledge and respect the world’s oldest continuous living culture, and in this way, engage in reconciliation.    The staff at Malkara will work together as an inclusive, respectful community to ensure all voices are heard and respected as we move towards until between one another.    At Malkara we will show this commitment by: 

•Meaningfully acknowledging and respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories and perspectives throughout our teaching and learning environments that are culturally safe and respectful. We will continue to work in collaboration.   with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, children, educators and community members to provide meaningful opportunities for them to share their knowledge and cultures across our school. We are committed to; •Acknowledging the true histories of Australia, since colonisation, and how these impact on our present, we believe it is critical to learn from the past, in order to positively influence our shared future.   •Creating classroom environments that are culturally safe and respectful.
