Uraidla Primary School’s vision for reconciliation is a more just, equal and equitable Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge, cultures and spirituality are actively valued for the ways in which they continue to enrich Australian society. We envision a country where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures are respected and celebrated, and we work together for the shared future of our children. At Uraidla Primary School we will work towards reconciliation in education by: •Acknowledging First Nations peoples of Australia in particular the Kaurna and Peramangk peoples and their enduring connections to, ownership and custodianship of the lands, seas and waterways.
•Creating a culturally safe place where all people have opportunities to experience, build respect for, and proudly celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures.
•These opportunities will focus on truth-telling, respectfully incorporating teaching about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures into our school curriculum, to promote understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ knowledge, wisdom and continuing contributions.
•Respectfully engage with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, developing mutually trusting and respectful partnerships and relationships as we develop our cultural responsiveness.
