Baringiny Moorditj Ballajura (making and becoming a strong Ballajura): Coming together and sharing, celebrating and learning about culture. Vision Statement: At Ballajura Community College, we believe that reconciliation means acknowledging and recognising the impacts of colonisation on First Nation peoples and the need for healing, cultural awareness, and responsiveness for all Australians. It is our commitment to fostering an environment that understands and acknowledges First Nations peoples’ cultures, histories and celebrates their contributions and achievements. We are committed to meaningful collaborations with staff, students, and the wider community to embrace unity between First Nations Peoples. Through reconciliation, we hope to create a college culture that represents equality, equity, historical acceptance and celebration of our shared history. Underpinning beliefs that have shaped our vision for reconciliation: A reconciled Australia is demonstrated by showing respect and acceptance of one another, built on understanding through open and honest communication.
