At Walford, our vision for reconciliation is for an inclusive, welcoming and culturally responsive community that respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This includes students, staff, parents and wider community learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples unique cultures, beliefs, knowledge systems, relationship with the Land, and histories, respectfully embedding this learning into our curriculum and school environment.
Grounded in our motto of Virtute et Veritate (Moral Courage and Truth) and through embodiment of our values of Courage, Commitment, Community and Growth, we collectively strive to understand, respect, and walk alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through deep listening, meaningful engagement, and authentic collaboration. We acknowledge that this work is continuous and requires intentional thought and action, and ongoing reflection, learning, and growth.
