At Ferny Grove State School, we are creating an environment that is culturally safe, where all students, families, teachers and members of the school community feel that they belong, and feel welcomed and accepted. Our vision for reconciliation is a world in which First Nations peoples’ voices are respected and heard in a community which values trust, mutual respect and pride. Through our actions we acknowledge the continuing impacts of our shared history, and understand that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and perspectives are diverse . We are committed to fostering strong relationships between First Nations people and non-Indigenous Australians as our role in becoming a reconciled Australia. In the context of our school this represents a commitment to equal and equitable educational opportunities for First Nations students and all students and the provision of inclusive, sustainable and diverse learning spaces that are culturally safe, enriching all students understanding of the world’s oldest continuous culture.
