Our vision for reconciliation at Para Hills High School is to continue to foster a community which respectfully supports, validates, and promotes the diverse histories and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are committed to ensuring that our educational environment provides equal and equitable opportunities for Aboriginal students to thrive academically, emotionally and socially.
Through our ongoing Reconciliation Action Plan commitments, we will:
- Maintain a culturally inclusive and responsive environment
- Challenge problematic perceptions and deficit thinking
- Respectfully include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, perspectives and contributions within our site and curriculum content
- Strengthen the development of knowledge about, and respect for, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and perspectives.
