VISION FOR RECONCILIATION

Our school community acknowledges and respects the histories, cultures and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Moreover, the school continues to develop, in students, staff and the community, a shared sense of pride in the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, both past and present. We are committed to ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories and cultures are acknowledged as an important part of Australia’s heritage and shared national identity.

School staff will continue to strive for excellence in creating a rich, culturally sensitive learning environment for all students through actively focusing on the five dimensions of reconciliation: historical acceptance; race relations; equality and equity; institutional integrity; and unity.

We recognise that the Land on which our school stands is the Land of the Kaurna People and we will continue to pay due respect at every available opportunity. The school also seeks to celebrate the achievements and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within the local community. We work to maintain a healthy, reciprocal relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous communities based on trust and respect as well as freedom from racism.

Integral to the school’s vision for reconciliation is a recognition of the importance of equality and equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across all sections of society.
