Henley Beach Primary School

We honour and pay respeects to the Kaurna people, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we live, learn, teach and work. We acknowledge that this Land, rich with Ancestral significance, is inscribed with the stories and wisdom of the Kaurna people, whose enduring connection to Country is a living testament to their heritage and respect for the Land.     Our vision for Reconciliation is anchored in respect for the Kaurna's peoples' enduring spirit and wisdom. We recognise that true reconciliation begins with acknowledging the Kaurna people as the Custodians of Kaurna Meyunna Yerta (Kaurna Country), and that our journey towards justice, equality and equity is informed by this recognition. At Henley Beach Primary School, we commit to fostering genuine partnerships with First Nations communities, valuing their knowledge, and integrating their perspectives into our learning environment. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, we strive to promote inclusion, equality, equity, and respect, ensuring that every individual within our school community is empowered to contribute to meaningful reconciliation efforts.   We pledge to build relationships and communities that honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories. Our actions will reflect our commitment to addressing the gaps identified in our Reconciliation Action Plan, demonstrating our dedication through timetly and specific actions. We acknowledge the ongoing pain and sorrow experienced by First Nations peoples due to historical and ongoing injustices, and we understand the need to support healing as a foundation for achieving true reconciliation.  Through our curriculum, learning environment, and the dedication of our staff, we aim to inspire our students to become allies who actively contribute to a more just and equitable society. Our vision is to nurture curious minds and brave hearts, fostering a sense of identity and pride that acknowledges our shared history.
