Millthorpe Public School's vision for reconciliation is an Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families have equal and equitable life opportunities as other Australians. We believe that all children, young people, and families should be safe, thriving, and hopeful.
We are committed to providing a culturally safe learning environment that teaches truth-telling. Our priority is to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are heard, valued, respected, and influential.
We will respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives within our learning spaces and local communities, ensuring cultural safety flourishes and the longest living continuous cultures are celebrated.
As we work towards reconciliation and cultural understanding, we commit to walking side by side with First Nations peoples, listening to their stories, learning from their experiences, and seeking ways to create a more inclusive and equitable future for all. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, we aspire to contribute positively to the journey of healing, respect, and collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within our community.
By acknowledging the significance of this Land and the Wiradjuri People as the Traditional Custodians, we hope to foster an environment of mutual respect and understanding, promoting meaningful relationships and actions that honour the histories and aspirations of First Peoples of Australia.
