At Greenacre Montessori Academy, our vision is to meaningfully foster, support and educate the educators, children, families and other stakeholders within our learning community to actively recognise and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners of the Land. Through this, our community will continue to value diversity, deepen their understandings and take the responsibility to continue to foster an inclusive environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and all people.
The vision behind our Reconciliation Action Plan is based in our core elements of truth, justice, forgiveness, healing, and love, which we will continue to draw on to provide practical strategies to build and renew a nation that embraces unity, equality and equity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all Australians, so that we can learn from each other as we work together towards a reconciled future.
We acknowledge that the RAP’s development and implementation is a continual process and that we will add to it and grow individually, as a team and as an organisation. Our commitment to reconciliation mirrors our values of respect for diversity, inclusion, advocating the rights of children, justice, honesty and courage.
Our goal is to continue to meaningfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives within our programs in a respectful and deep manner, to create a strong sense of being, belonging and becoming for everyone in our service.
