The Friends' School recognises the identities and diversity of Australia's First Peoples throughout mainland Australia and the Torres Strait Islands. Our vision is to work collaboratively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for a better future for all Australians.
We support the ongoing work towards equality and equity between Australia's First Peoples. . Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, we will actively support Voice, Treaty and Truth as a process that will provide unity and amplify the voices and empower the self-determination of First Australian Peoples. We will explore and celebrate the heritage, cultures and rights of First Peoples in the school community and broader community.
We commit to meeting together in supported silence, to listen with an open heart and mind and to seek guidance. Our vision is guided by the Quaker Testimonies, calling us to be in right relationship with all peoples, the Land and environment.
