Gooseberry Hill Primary School

Seek Wisdom, Together Gooseberry Hill Primary School is located on Whadjuk Country approximately 20 kilometres from the CBD in a unique bush setting with nearby national parks and local reserves and is often frequented by a range of birdlife and native wildlife. The school was established in 1972 and during this time has built a reputation as being a nurturing school, committed to excellence and supported by a caring community. As a school community, we value the seeking of wisdom, and a sense of togetherness, in an environment rich with excellence and experience. We are committed to improving our culturally responsive practices in our everyday teaching, learning and lives. Our vision for reconciliation at Gooseberry Hill Primary School is that our students, staff and community seek wisdom, together. In seeking wisdom, we will:  •Understand the past and speak of the true histories of First Nations Peoples •Seek, value and respect the wisdom of the Traditional Owners of the Land •Foster connections and relationships with Elders, Traditional Owners and Community •Learn, teach and understand about reconciliation and days of national significance.   Together, we will:  •Celebrate and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rich heritages, cultures and contributions •Respectfully embed First Nations peoples’ cultural perspectives in our everyday learning and lives •Create a unified, inclusive, equal and equitable Australia that enables all people to be proud of who they are •Drive positive change in our school and community
