Westbourne Grammar School

Shaping Learners Who Inspire the World is the school’s vision statement and frames our aspirations for action on reconciliation. It will be through the education and development of ourselves, our young people  and families as leaders in helping to shape a new Australia where true reconciliation is achieved. We acknowledge the profound and lasting impact of colonisation on Australia’s First Peoples and through the development of meaningful learning, community engagement and action. We will engage our school in embracing the rich and diverse cultures and heritages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their ongoing contributions to Australian society. We are committed to truth-telling, to ensuring that justice, equity, equality are experienced by all. We will ensure the path to self-determination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is embedded in our ways of being at Westbourne. Westbourne Grammar School is committed to ensuring our community of staff and students is equipped with the compassion, empathy, skills, respect and cultural awareness to strengthen authentic relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous people as we walk together on this healing journey.
