In all aspects of Immanuel College’s school life, we are committed to embracing and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s cultures, their connections to Country, the importance of song lines and the preservation of language. We strive to create opportunities for staff, students and the wider community to develop a deep, ongoing, and authentic understanding of First Nations peoples’ histories and cultures through honest teaching and truth telling.
The diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures is actively recognised, valued, and celebrated within our school. We commit to fostering respectful relationships through working alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on our reconciliation journey. We aim to ensure inclusivity and equity to create and maintain a culturally safe environment.
