Little Yarra Steiner School

As a school on Wurundjeri Country our vision is: 

•To provide a culturally responsive place that drives inclusive policies and allows Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, families and staff a sense of belonging   stemming from deep respect for the Land, for the Birrarung and for its Traditional Custodians.   •To bring to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and non-Indigenous students a curriculum that includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives,  historical truth telling and   respectful and critical exploration of current issues and events.    •To strengthen relationships between the school community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and organisations within the community  that build upon mutual respect, shared reconciliation vision and shared commitment to walking and working together.   •To learn about and reflect on  the school’s  history on Country, and how this knowledge  can support collaborations with First Nations communities in all future strategic planning.   

As a school in Australia our vision is to support a future 

where all Australians value and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, peoples and histories as a founding and integral part of a shared national identity;   where the First Peoples’ Custodianship of Country is recognised and respected, where past and present wrongs and their impacts are known by all and where amendment is striven for;    that is free from discrimination and racism, where opportunities are equal and equitable and where First Peoples’ unique rights are recognised and upheld.      As stated by our National Education Association, Steiner Education Australia, we seek to promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in the education of all children who are our future.
