At Cowra Public School, we are informed by the wisdom of the Wiradyuri people. Our ethos is Yindymarra (respect). Our journey of reconciliation is based on truth telling and building authentic relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, that promotes understanding and healing. We honour the rich cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and inspire our school community to become compassionate and informed citizens. We commit to reconciliation by promising to listen, learn and grow together. * Yindyamarra: To do slowly, to respect, to be gentle, to be polite and to honour.Â
