Camberwell Girls Grammar School - Senior Campus

Camberwell Girls Grammar School's (CGGS) vision is to actively contribute to reconciliation and strengthen relationships between the School and First Nations peoples and communities. We value and celebrate the many deep and rich First Nations cultures in Australia and are committed to ensuring that the School's places of learning empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to feel culturally safe and respected. In addition, we call all members of the CGGS community to understand their responsibility to promote reconciliation in their words and actions. Through the School's values of Integrity, Commitment, Respect, Hope and Courage, CGGS is committed to building strong, enduring, respectful and equitable relationships with First Nations peoples, communities and organisations. At CGGS, we value the important role of education and service in reconciliation: to inform, respect, celebrate and foster pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and contributions to society. Through our learning programs and co-curricular experiences, our goal is to guide the next generations toward a more reconciled Australia. In all aspects of school life, CGGS is committed to actively listen and learn as we strive to embed and promote First Nations voices, understandings and perspectives through language, music, art, stories and teachings. We will continue to develop an appreciation for, and understanding of, the importance of connection to Country within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and provide opportunities for the school community to engage with the wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. CGGS acknowledges and recognises that our role through education and service is fundamental to achieving long-term change and meaningful reconciliation in Australia; helping to create a place where all people feel able to share their cultures and identities freely, a place which is equitable and fair to all members of society.
