St John Fisher College reaffirms its commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Guided by our Vision to be a vibrant Catholic Mercy community where every person is inspired to grow, lead with integrity, and contribute with purpose, we recognise reconciliation as an essential expression of our identity and values.
In keeping with our Mission, we honour our Catholic Mercy heritage by respecting the dignity of all, with particular recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples celebrating the diversity of our community,and ensuring all are welcome.
We acknowledge the injustices of the past and the continuing impacts experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We commit to truth telling, to listening with humility, and to promoting a deeper understanding of Australia's histories.
The College is dedicated to strengthening relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, families, staff, local Elders, and the wider First Nations community. Through these partnerships, we strive to build a culturally safe and inclusive environment, and to empower young women to lead with courage, act justly, and contribute meaningfully to reconciliation.
