At Wonga Park Primary School, we warmly invite everyone to join us on a journey of reconciliation; a heartfelt process aimed at nurturing understanding and connection between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community. Within our school, we hold a deep appreciation for the oldest cultures on Earth and are eager to explore how we can honour and respect Country and First Nations peoples.
We believe in learning from the wisdom of the past, listening to stories that shape our shared history, and actively contributing to a future where fairness and opportunity are equal and equitable for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people. Our aspiration is to embody understanding and respect for First Nations peoples, incorporating these values into our daily actions and endeavours. Central to our commitment is the development of meaningful relationships with local Aboriginal Elders. We understand the importance of learning from their wisdom, experiences, and stories which have shaped our shared history.
At Wonga Park Primary School, we are committed to being open to feedback, embracing opportunities for growth, and making meaningful strides toward reconciliation. We invite all in our sphere of influence to join our reconciliation journey with passion and kindness as we aim to create a space where First Nations peoples are not only seen and heard, but also deeply respected, as we collectively work towards fostering a community which celebrates the richness of our diverse community.
