To understand and respect the histories and cultures of Australia’s First Nations Peoples and to work together to generate better outcomes.
St Leonard's College is located on Bunurong Land and acknowledges the people of the Boonwurrung Language Group. Our vision is to continue to build an understanding of, and respect for, diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and the deep connections each has to lands and seas. We will further our learning and understanding of the continuing impacts of colonial wrongdoings. Our acknowledgement of the strengths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in maintaining identity, knowledge and connection to culture is consistently addressed across the College with students, staff and families demonstrating their commitment to reconciliation. As we develop meaningful relationships with the local Bunurong community and those further afield, we have commenced our work together towards a shared future of reconciliation. At all levels within the College and its community, we commit to deepening the embedded practices which will contribute to reconciliation through mutual respect, knowledge and action
