Our vision for a reconciled future at Jerrabomberra Public School is founded upon unity, equity, and high expectations for both our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students and all others. We are committed to strengthening relationships between First Nations and non-Indigenous cultures by building connections through trust and respect. We will foster a culture of harmony, fairness, and outstanding opportunities for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students and their families by creating a culturally safe and secure educational environment built on the foundations of truth-telling, understanding and historical acceptance.
Within the setting of Jerrabomberra Public School, this vision signifies a learning environment that is both respectful and equitable. It is an environment that actively works to ensure equal and equitable learning opportunities and outcomes for all students. Our commitment extends to providing a curriculum that is culturally rich, one that seamlessly integrates First Nations perspectives into the learning experience.
We understand that the journey of reconciliation is ongoing and reflective. At Jerrabomberra Public School, we are dedicated to continually evolving, adapting, and embedding reconciliation within our daily teaching practices. We will prioritise the engagement of all students, staff and community members in recognising the profound significance of reconciliation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their rich histories, and diverse cultures. Our vision is a testament to our unwavering commitment to a future where unity and respect are the cornerstones of our educational journey, ensuring a better and brighter tomorrow for all.
