Essex Heights Primary School envisions a vibrant, inclusive community where the cultures, histories, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are acknowledged and deeply valued. Guided by our values of Respect, Resilience, Curiosity, Kindness, and Inclusiveness, we commit to respectfully embedding First Nations perspectives in our curriculum, fostering pride and understanding among all students. Â We create a culturally safe environment through respectful truth-telling about Australias shared history, addressing past and ongoing injustices with sensitive action. By building kind, respectful relationships with Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong communities, we ensure their voices shape our journey. Our school embraces curious learning to promote equity, inspiring students to be kind, inclusive advocates for reconciliation, strengthening a united Australian identity. Â Â Â Â Â
