Our vision for reconciliation is to embraces unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians, and a national culture that represents equality and equity, historical acceptance of our shared histories, and removal of negative race relations. Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds, and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
In the context of our organisation, this represents equal and equitable educational opportunities and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and an inclusive and diverse workplace that is not just culturally safe, but culturally rich and proud. We are committed to building meaningful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, organisations, and communities.
Our commitment to reconciliation mirrors our values of respect for diversity, inclusion, advocating the rights of children, justice, honesty, and courage. It is our goal that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage is embedded so respectfully and deeply in the future that it is entrenched in our being, belonging and becoming.
