Our vision for reconciliation at Stella Maris is . . .
- To show our respect for and deepen our knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories.
- Create an inclusive and culturally responsive community that promotes justice, honours traditions, and builds unity between non-Indigenous peoples and First Nations peoples.
- Raising awareness and recognition of the true histories of Australia and the ongoing impact of colonial injustices through a targeted educational approach.
As our faith inspires action, the RAP Actions will be achieved through our core values of courage, commitment, compassion, confidence and creativity.
The Stella Maris Community is committed to working in respectful and reciprocal partnerships with First Nations peoples to achieve reconciliation in our school and wider community.
