Brighton Beach Primary School is committed to building strong reciprocal relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, in order to build, deliver and strengthen curriculum knowledge and understanding of First Peoples’ Histories and Cultures among all students, educators and families.
We strive to learn, understand and implement reconciliation initiatives in partnership with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. We aim to strengthen connectedness, respect for diverse identities, and positive inter-cultural communication for all students’ and staffs' wellbeing.
We are committed to equipping our students with the skills and knowledge, and to instilling in them the confidence, to talk and share their learnings about First Nations histories and cultures through an attention to respect, resilience, reflection, responsibility, relationships and reconciliation. We believe that children are the agents of change and key participants in shaping the future at Brighton Beach Primary School and in the wider community.
We will continue to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives to give children rich learning opportunities. We will foster a strong sense of inclusion and support students to learn to become environmentally aware through connection to Country/place, and through activities towards protecting and preserving the Earth.
