Our vision is to create a culturally safe and inclusive environment in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families are empowered, and their cultural identity is respected and celebrated.
We aim to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are firmly embedded in all areas of the curriculum. We will work toward engaging and building relationships with members of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and form authentic partnerships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous peoples through the development of cultural competency for staff and students. The school will celebrate culturally significant events and culturally appropriate and meaningful experiences will be respectfully integrated into the curriculum.
We are committed as a school to ensuring that all units of work include authentic ways to bring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures into the curriculum and incorporate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into all areas of the curriculum. This will be at the forefront of student learning. Our commitment is ongoing. Our practices will be visible, and outcomes will be measurable.
We will adhere to the Department for Education's vision for Aboriginal Education - "Each Aboriginal child and young person is a proud and confident learner, achieving at their highest potential."
