At Leonay Public School, we honour the deep connection to Country held by the Traditional Owners of the Land, the Dharug people. Our vision for reconciliation promotes a dedicated community that respects and values the shared histories of Australia, and the cultures, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We respectfully include First Nations peoples perspectives into our daily practices to cultivate a sense of belonging for everyone in our school community. We are dedicated to building respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout our reconciliation journey. By fostering a culturally safe environment and establishing genuine partnerships with the Dharug People, we aim for meaningful consultation that embraces authentic and ongoing learning experiences. We acknowledge the vital role of education in Truth-telling and understanding Australias true histories. Our commitment is to ensure that all students feel safe, supported, empowered, and proud of their individual identity within our school community. We encourage and support our students to actively advocate for equality, equity, and reconciliation within our school community.
