Kingsley Primary School

At Kingsley Primary School, we are committed to walking together in the spirit of reconciliation acknowledging the enduring cultures, histories and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and working collectively towards a more just, equitable and inclusive future. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations peoples of Australia and honour their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We respect the strength and resilience of the worlds oldest continuing cultures and acknowledge the truth of Australias shared history. Our vision for reconciliation is a school community where: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, perspectives and histories are embedded meaningfully across teaching and learning programs. Students develop deep understanding, empathy and respect, becoming active and informed citizens who contribute positively to reconciliation in Australia. Staff build cultural capability and confidence to engage respectfully and authentically with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. Strong, mutually respectful partnerships are formed with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members and organisations. Equity of opportunity and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students is actively pursued and celebrated. Guided by the principles of relationships, respect and opportunities promoted by Reconciliation Australia, we commit to ongoing reflection, learning and action. We understand that reconciliation is not a single event but a continuous journey that requires truth-telling, courage and collective responsibility. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, we aspire to nurture a culturally safe and inclusive environment where every student is empowered to thrive, and where reconciliation is lived each day through our words, actions and shared commitment to a better future.
