Brighton Secondary School envisions a future where reconciliation is not just a word, but a guiding principle. Where it is deeply ingrained in our community, fostering a genuine understanding and appreciation of Kaurna People’s culture, history, and connection to the Land.
As a site, we commit to acknowledging and honouring the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Brighton Secondary School stands – the Kaurna People and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people throughout Australia. We commit to building a culturally responsive school environment where inclusivity and a sense of belonging supports the First Nations community members to thrive.
Through culturally responsive education, initiatives, and events, we will ensure that Kaurna voices and First Peoples voices are embedded in our curriculum, school activities, and everyday practices.
In embracing this vision for reconciliation, Brighton Secondary School takes a significant step in empowering all young people to become advocates for reconciliation by providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to create positive change, in the two-way journey of reconciliation.
