Royal North Shore Hospital School's vision for reconciliation is a culturally safe and inclusive environment in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are acknowledged and their cultural identity respected. Our vision is to be a nation that fosters relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, building authentic connections that promote understanding, healing and justice to strengthen our collective efforts towards reconciliation.
Our school is committed to nurturing an environment that respects and acknowledges the rich heritage and contributions of the Cammeraygal people of the Eora Nation and their ongoing connections to the land and waters in which we live, work and play. We strive for our curriculum to integrate Cammeraygal history, stories and perspectives, ensuring the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this Land are acknowledged and respected. This will be at the forefront of students learning, building knowledge and understanding for First Nations peoples needed for an equal and equitable future.
Our community of staff are committed to ongoing education to deepen our knowledge of the Country on which we work, embedding this knowledge into daily practices. We strive to be a place of teaching and learning that is culturally inclusive, where diversity is acknowledged, and the longest living cultures are respected.
