At Queensland Academy for Science Mathematics and Technology (QASMT), we are committed to fostering reconciliation by acknowledging and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples and Custodians of the Land on which we learn, work, and grow. We seek to build a future founded on mutual respect, truth-telling, and equity, where reconciliation is not just an aspiration but an embedded part of our institutional identity.
We strive to embrace historical acceptance by fostering a culture of truth-telling, ensuring that our shared histories are understood, acknowledged, and used to inform a just and united future. We will strengthen race relations through open and respectful dialogue, acknowledging the diverse perspectives, knowledge systems, and wisdom of First Nations peoples and cultures. We will advance equality and equity by advocating for fair and just opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders, ensuring representation and inclusion in all aspects of school life. We will do our part to uphold institutional integrity by embedding reconciliation principles within our curriculum, policies, and leadership, ensuring that our school actively contributes to systemic change. We foster unity by cultivating a school environment where all members are active participants in reconciliation, recognising the significance of First Nations peoples and cultures in shaping our collective identity.
We will champion reconciliation through education, intercultural dialogue, and action. We are committed to ensuring that every member of our community is equipped to respect and understand First Nations cultures—not just as a reflection of the past but as a vital part of Australia's present and future. QASMT affirms its commitment to meaningful and sustainable reconciliation, ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, and histories are acknowledged, respected, and woven into the fabric of our learning community.
