Our vision for reconciliation is to nurture a visible respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Histories, Cultures and Languages through active participation in, and around, our school community. St Peter's Catholic Primary School is a Catholic faith community, embodying the Gospel values of freedom and love, with a vision for reconciliation. We honour local relationships and respectfully engage First Nations peoples as we continue to build stronger and more inclusive pathways for students and staff at St Peters Catholic Primary School to know and value the stories, contributions and aspirations of the First Peoples of the local Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) area. We strive to understand the experiences of First Nations students and their families, and value their voice in decision-making. To promote equality and equity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians, we commit to creating a culturally safe and understanding environment for students, staff, families and the wider community. We recognise the place and significance of the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which the school stands as integral in our reconciliation journey and are committed to building strong links with local Elders to ensure that local stories and cultural values are respectfully shared and embedded in our learning experiences. As we continue on our reconciliation journey, we are committed to representing a school community of faith and love; to embodying the values of love and freedom; and to always act justly.
