St Columba College

St Columba College acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we live, their histories and cultures and the continuing importance to First Nations peoples and the wider community.

We are a faith-filled community who aspire to a reconciled Australia where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, with equal and equitable opportunities to achieve success.

We commit to respectfully including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives throughout the curriculum through sustained engagement of staff, students and the school community to further our understanding of First Nations peoples and cultures.  St Columba aspires to create a learning community where the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is celebrated, allowing equal and equitable opportunities for all students in our care to learn in a culturally safe space.  Through our practice in the Catholic and Anglican religion we strive to recognise the spiritual connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country.

We commit to truth telling and recognise the culture, histories and perspectives of First Nations peoples are integral to creating a reconciled future and inclusive school community.
