At Birdwood Primary School, we envision a future where reconciliation is at the heart of our learning community. Guided by a deep respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories, cultures, and perspectives, we strive to cultivate an inclusive environment where all students, staff, and families celebrate and value the richness of Australia's First Nations peoples and cultures. Through meaningful engagement, cultural awareness and responsiveness, and the embedding of reconciliation principles across our curriculum, we are committed to fostering understanding, respect, and unity. Together, we embrace the journey of reconciliation, empowering ourselves and our students to become compassionate and informed global citizens who champion social justice and equity for all.
We recognise the significance and unique contributions of the First Nations students that are a part of our community, honouring their heritage and acknowledging their role as cultural ambassadors within our community. We are committed to offering them a platform and will work with them to ensure they feel empowered to embrace their identity in their own way, nurturing their strengths and fostering their leadership, as we journey towards a shared future of reconciliation.
