At Saint Joseph’s Nundah, our Reconciliation Action Plan places Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples at the heart of Australia’s reconciliation journey. We recognise and respect the ancient histories, rich cultures, and enduring contributions of First Nations peoples as a vital part of our shared national story and identity.
Grounded in our Gospel mission and the values of Respect, Compassion, Joy, and Justice, we are committed to fostering a future where all Australians thrive in a nation that honours its First Peoples. We acknowledge the profound spiritual connections Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to Country and are privileged to learn, work, and grow on Turrbal Land.
Through meaningful and respectful inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives across our curriculum and school life, we strive to create a culturally safe and inclusive environment. We are dedicated to teaching the truth of our shared histories, learning and reflecting in the present, and embracing a future shaped by reconciliation, healing, and justice.
Guided by our school motto, ‘To Love, To Care, and To Give,’ we empower current and future generations to walk together towards a reconciled, just, and inclusive Australia.
