Mother Teresa Primary School proudly supports the local and national effort to drive reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all other Australians through building and maintaining respectful relationships. Being grounded in truth, we acknowledge the impact colonisation has, and continues to have, on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognise and value their long continuing and rich cultural and spiritual life and contributions to Australian society. Â Â Â Mother Teresa Primary School is therefore committed to continue being a community where all students are provided with an educational experience that promotes actions of reconciliation to move forward together, to openly see and improve how we, as a school community, view, treat, acknowledge and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their cultures. Â Our vision for reconciliation provides equal and equitable educational opportunities for all students, and we will continue to recognise the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and celebrating individual differences and achievements for all students. Â Â Â In keeping with our Catholic charism and ethos of being a people of Compassion, Peace, Prayer, Service, and Love, we proudly support and encourage all students, staff and families to actively engage in the process of reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider Australian community. Â Â Â Our school motto, to always do small things with great love, calls us to ensure that our steps are taken together in meaningful partnership with all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the community to create rich, purposeful, and sustained change into the future.
