Our vision for reconciliation at McLaren Flat Primary School (MFPS), located on Kaurna Country, is to actively acknowledge and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Nation's first peoples. At MFPS we are committed to honesty and critical reflection, especially on our reconciliation journey. We understand that to move forward together we must acknowledge and reflect on injustices past and present, as well as celebrate the resilience and strength of the First Nations community. We aim to create a space that allows Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices to be heard and are committed to actively seeking guidance from the First Nations community to support this vision. We are committed to promoting cultural diversity, ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are respectfully included into our teaching and learning, and ensuring First Nations students, and all students are given the tools they need in order to succeed in their education. We are dedicated to sustaining and developing MFPS as an inclusive community of students, parents and staff who support and enable healing as a means of reconciliation. We commit ourselves to being a community who listen, learn and provide equal and equitable opportunities. We proudly walk together as Australians for a better future.
