Our vision for reconciliation is based on our belief in a responsibility-based culture of respect, generosity and humility.
Westminster School aims to achieve this by encouraging students and staff to be active citizens who are willing to embrace reconciliation and diversity as a source of opportunity. Inclusiveness, respect, caring, learning and cooperation are values held as important to the Westminster community. These underpin our education and social practices as we address the concepts central to what reconciliation means to Westminster School.
Our vision is to achieve reconciliation through respecting First Nations peoples, histories and cultures. We show respect to the people, the Land, their cultures, spirituality and traditions. Our charter is to work together so that First Nations students have the same life opportunities as other students. We will build meaningful relationships with students, staff, families, the wider community and First Nations people to foster a reconciled community.
Through open and rigorous dialogues, we seek to support a conversation between our learning community members. From these dialogues our collective responsibility emerges. This will underpin our committed and sustained contribution to generating better outcomes for First Nations peoples.
