Brisbane Girls Grammar School

Our vision for reconciliation is to foster a deep learning and understanding of the true histories of this continent and the current experiences and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Through engaging with, respecting, and valuing the diverse experiences, languages, cultures and perspectives of First Nations Peoples, we enrich our learning practices and environments.   Brisbane Girls Grammar School makes a commitment to advocating for reconciliation in the classroom, around the school, and with the community.   As an inclusive and principled School community, we celebrate belonging, and value diverse histories, cultures, languages, ancestry, rights, laws and lores, of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as part of our shared national identity. We value the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our school and broader communities and commit to ensuring that opportunities are provided to amplify those voices. As a School community we seek to walk alongside First Nations People, building authentic, reciprocal relationships, learning from those who are willing to share their knowledge with us, and advocating for equal and equitable rights for all.    As part of our stewardship of our physical, cultural and learning environments, we seek to be guided by the interconnectedness of First Nations peoples’ cultures and their connections to Country. In so doing, we bring that cultural awareness into care for self, each other, the living environment, and our shared futures.   We support active citizenship and curiosity amongst students by inviting them to listen to the wisdom and perspectives of First Nations Peoples. As bold, independent learners, students reflect on how to practice reconciliation in their own lives.
