Our vision is for a country that is united in reconciliation. We dream of a national culture embedded in equity and equality, one that acknowledges and accepts our shared history and promotes positive race relationships. Â
In the context of our school, this represents equal educational and wellbeing outcomes for First Nations students at Footscray West Primary School. We are committed to respectfully embedding First Nations perspectives in our units of work across all year levels, in order to promote rich, ongoing learning for all students, staff and the wider community. Â
We are committed to building and maintaining consistent practices that promote respectful relationships between our school and the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. Â
In addition to this, we aim to create an inclusive, diverse and safe workplace that demonstrates pride and respect for our First Nations Peoples.     Â
