Our vision for reconciliation is for everyone to walk together to promote equality, equity and justice.
Edmund Rice College strives to support all members of our educational community to build cultural safety across the college, and to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our practice.
Our aim is:
•to acknowledge and ecognize the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
•to acknowledge and develop relationships between Edmund Rice College and the communities that our students are connected to;
•to have an environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are respectfully experienced and valued by our whole community,
•to provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to celebrate and embrace their heritage, and for all students to embrace the continued significance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and contributions.
The heavens are yours, the earth is also yours, the world and all that is in it - You have created them all.
(Psalm 89:11)
