At Eltham North Primary School, we see reconciliation as a process of healing the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. We are a community aiming to understand how to respect Country and First Nations peoples, who represent the oldest living cultures on earth. We want to learn by listening to the truths of the past and help build a future that is equal and equitable for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We aspire to demonstrate understanding and respect for First Nations peoples and their connection to Country through our values, actions, and efforts. We aim to actively listen to feedback and continually make changes to work towards reconciliation in meaningful ways. We are passionately embarking on the long journey that is reconciliation, to help create fairness and the opportunity for First Nations peoples to feel, and truly be, included, seen and heard and respected.
