Casey Grammar School

A reconciled Australia is where everyone has equitable access to quality education and the ability to live a long, healthy and purposeful life. We envision a place where a person's culture, their social standing, education or beliefs are not barriers to acceptance and respect. 

Casey Grammar School is committed to acknowledging and developing a deeper, shared understanding of Australia's true past, with the goal of ongoing change for the better. We willingly participate in acknowledging the tensions that Australia's histories and its trauma present for First Nations peoples, whilst also recognising the strong cultural connections and ongoing resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. Together, we envision a just and equitable future. 

As a school, we will value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, knowledges, and perspectives, seeking always to make Casey Grammar School a culturally responsive community for First Nations staff, students, and families, and for everyone across our school community. We believe in creating a school where stories are known and understood. 

We endeavour to recognise the ongoing implications of Australias historical truths and the ongoing impacts of invasion, dispossession, and cultural erasure on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. In doing so, we acknowledge and recognise the continuous strengths and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and cultures. 

Together, we embrace the call to action to work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the community to create a more connected and reconciled society.

We are determined to recognise and learn from the Boonwurrong people, through our shared walk and work towards reconciliation, as we grow in knowledge, respect and connection.
