St Patrick's vision for reconciliation is a positive school culture where everyone in our school community feels safe, supported, respected and valued. We acknowledge our Awabakal connections and strive to cultivate and share a deep understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures.
To us, a reconciled Australia is a place of harmonious communities, unified by mutual understanding, awareness and acknowledgement of First Nation peoples’ histories and truths. We believe achieving reconciliation requires listening, learning and connecting.
At St Patrick's, we are committed to building respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, local Elders and leaders in the wider community. St Patrick's teachers commit to ongoing professional and personal learning to teach confidently and support an authentic approach to reconciliation and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in all our school practices.
