St Mary's School

St Mary's is committed to improving learning opportunities and outcomes to ensure all students achieve academic success. We will show this commitment by acknowledging the diverse cultures and contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have had and continue to have on the Lands within Australia. This will be done by fostering a nurturing environment for our students to learn in.

As a school we want our staff and students to know and value the local and broader Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives histories and cultures, and continue to deepen, extend our knowledge and understanding of how to create meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait peoples.

This essential knowledge is garnered from engagement with students and their immediate and extended families. As we continue to grow as a community of active learners, we commit to ensuring there is a focus on what it means to respectfully engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples' histories, values, languages and culture across Australia.

Reconciliation means respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples’ cultures and perspectives and fostering an environment where everyone is welcomed, valued, and involved in all aspects of learning. 

We strive to ensure our families and community feel supported and connected. We are committed to growing as a school and learning what it means to respectfully acknowledge our past and work together to create a strong and united Australia.
