St Thomas Primary School

At St Thomas’ Catholic Primary School, we follow in the tradition of the Sisters of Good Samaritan of the Order of St Benedict and in doing so we strive to be a community of faith, justice, compassion and learning.  

We are committed to building respectful connections with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and deepening our knowledge of First Nations peoples' histories and cultures. 

As we develop and strengthen our relationships with the Yuggera and Turrbal peoples, as well as other First Nations Peoples within the local community we acknowledge and respect the diversity of Aboriginal and Torress Strait Islander peoples' cultures, perspectives and ongoing contributions. 

We seek opportunities to deepen our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and their unique cultures, perspectives and histories through purposeful inclusion within our curriculum. We encourage students to recognise our shared past, and the ongoing impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, committing to living peacefully and acting with justice. 

Celebrate and embed in our daily practices an awareness of the significance of the contributions of the Traditional Owners past, present and emerging. We are committed to healing the hurts and wrongs of the past through our prayers, words, and actions.
