Newcastle Senior School

Newcastle Senior School has a shared vision for reconciliation across the Newcastle Schools community. Our vision is built on an active commitment to reconciliation, equality, equity, consistency, high expectations, and authentic inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives. We will continue to build and strengthen relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, communities, and organisations.     Education is the means to teach and shape the beliefs and understandings of children, educators, and families regarding the importance of reconciliation. At Newcastle School, we are committed to working towards an equitable, equal, and just society for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all people and a reconciled Australia for generations to come. Our reconciliation journey can and will have a profoundly positive influence on every child's life.     "... A reconciled Australia is one where our rights as First Australians are not just respected but championed in all the places that matter..."   Quote from Kirstie Parker Previous Board Member, Reconciliation Australia
