At Mount Alvernia College, reconciliation is an ongoing commitment to truth-telling, and to learning about our nation’s past, opening respectful dialogue and taking meaningful action for equality, equity and justice with First Nations peoples. We recognise the deep wounds caused by racism, discrimination and government policies; we say sorry and seek healing through respectful relationships that are affirming, inclusive and empowering of all. We stand strong in our support for the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution and a Makarrata Commission to supervise a process of agreement-making between governments and First Nations people. United in our belief in the transformative potential of education, the dignity of all people and the value of peace, we walk together in hope to nurture our nation’s future.
