Ivanhoe Grammar School

Ivanhoe Grammar School’s vision is for an inclusive inter-cultural relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians based on common respect and recognition of the enduring value of First Peoples’ knowledge and cultures. Our aims are:  •To respectfully reflect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and perspectives in the school’s physical environment   •To ensure that our school’s campuses are places where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples feel culturally safe and are treated with dignity and respect.   •To truly engage with and learn from, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and organisations   •To respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and knowledge in our school culture including curricula, teaching and learning, co-curricular activities and our community.   •To demonstrate a recognition of the truth of Australia’s colonial histories by developing school curricula, teaching and learning practices and engagement activities that foster a truthful understanding of these histories.   •To develop an understanding of the importance of place, and the Land within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.
