Nowra Anglican College

We at Nowra Anglican College acknowledge the Dharawal People as the Traditional Custodians of Country and will actively value and respect First Nations Peoples’ connections to the land, sky, the waters, the animals and the community in which we learn and play.  

Our vision and commitment is to continue increasing our knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and identities. This understanding will guide us as we build respectful relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members.  

We will continue to create a visibly inclusive and culturally responsive environment for all children, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are respectfully embedded in our everyday practice and where children feel a sense of belonging, safety and comfort in knowing that their cultures are shared, honoured and respected, as are their Elders, past and present.  

As educators, we understand the significant role we play in the reconciliation journey for each child, educator and family at our school. We are committed to learning, re-learning and teaching our shared history and the diverse cultures that make up our country.  Our process towards reconciliation acknowledges that children are our future and together with the children, educators and families we will work as a community and continue our journey.
