Curran Public School

At Curran Public School, our vision for reconciliation is to foster a unified community where all members come together as one, celebrating and valuing the rich cultural heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are committed to creating a culturally safe environment where Elders are respected and heard, and where every individual feels proud of their identity.

Our shared commitment to standing up against racism and challenging systemic inequities is essential. We strive to be brave and accountable, actively promoting anti-racism in our school community. We recognise that reconciliation is not just a goal but an ongoing journey that involves truth-telling, understanding intergenerational trauma, and acknowledging the impact of past policies on children and families today.

In our school, this vision translates into a culturally relevant curriculum that is grounded in Aboriginal pedagogies, prioritising local ways of knowing and doing through the Curran Ways. We aim to equip our students with a strong connection to Dharawal Country, fostering pride in their culture and identity. By nurturing future leaders who are proud and brave, we develop their strength of character to advocate for systemic change.

We are dedicated to equity, working tirelessly to ensure that no one is marginalised. Our goal is to close the gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive in a supportive and inclusive environment. Together, we will create a future where all cultures are celebrated, and every individual is empowered to contribute to a just and reconciled society.
