Ashcroft Public School proudly acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Land, the Cabrigal Clan of the Dharug Nation, where we live, work, grow and play. We are committed to fostering a rich understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures, histories, stories, traditions and languages. Ashcroft Public School's vision for reconciliation is to embark on a journey of truth-telling, recognition, understanding and healing. To reconcile, the Ashcroft Public School community will work together through shared experiences and reflections and ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ voices are heard, respected and acted upon. We recognise that authentic partnerships with the local First Nations community will build the foundation for strong connections, that are based on trust and mutual respect. We recognise that reconciliation is a process that requires ongoing action and reflection. We will create an environment that demonstrates our commitment to cultural safety, equity and equality.
