The Illawarra Grammar School - Peak

At PEAK TIGS, we continue to build and maintain meaningful connections with the local Dharawal community. Together with the children in our school, our vision for reconciliation is an inclusive environment whereby all members of the centre develop a sense of purpose and fulfillment, built upon strong feelings of trust, connectedness, inclusivity and respect for First Nations cultures. This is established through promoting and embracing harmony between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians.  We strive to incorporate the five dimensions of reconciliation within our pedagogy and curriculum through meaningful learning experiences that deepen our understanding of reconciliation.    We understand and place importance on educators being positive role models and respectfully educating children. We continue to provide a culturally safe environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all peoples through respectfully embedding First Nations perspectives within all programs as we continue our reconciliation journey together.     As a centre we will always use respectful and inclusive language and terminology and forever be mindful of the way in which we speak about reconciliation.
