Being a school of the Lutheran Church, our faith at Encounter Lutheran College inspires and encourages us to learn, respect, and celebrate all people. Our vision for reconciliation is a demonstrated commitment to recognising, understanding, respecting, and appreciating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their ongoing connection to the Lands across Australia upon which we all work and learn. To realise this vision we will; - deepen our understanding, through respectful engagement with Traditional Owners and the wider local community; - work in collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; - create opportunities to actively and respectfully recognise and celebrate First Nations cultures; - create learning opportunities that are rich, inclusive, and authentic; and - demonstrate an ongoing commitment to truth-telling, justice, and healing through the respectful integration of reconciliation principles into curriculum, the College culture, events, and language use..
