Oakleigh Primary School

Our community, comprising of Oakleigh Primary School and Kindergarten and Out of School Hours Care (OSHC), are committed to working together to promote a path to reconciliation. We aim to foster respect of First Nations people and celebrate their achievements. We are committed to teaching our students indigenous perspectives in a range of curriculum areas to give a voice to First Nations people and show understanding and appreciation of their culture built over many thousands of years and make links to our shared history. We warmly welcome First Nations peoples into our community to share their ideas and perspectives. 

Our school values of kindness, respect, connection, responsibility, and growth are extended to this vision. 

 •We show kindness towards First Nations people and their journey.   •We respect that First Nations people are the oldest culture on Earth and are first educators on the Lands where the school, kindergarten and OSHC is built.   •We understand the deep connection First Nations people have to the Land and their culture.   •Together we have a responsibility to nurture reconciliation and teach students about First Nations perspectives.   •Together we can nurture growth for First Nations students in our care. 

We are committed to supporting the journey of reconciliation.
