We at Aquinas College are committed to implementing measurable and thoughtful actions that align with our Reconciliation Action Plan. As an ongoing aspiration, we espouse a culturally inclusive school community that celebrates difference and values the diversity of all students, staff, and parents, inclusive of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through engagement with Elders and Community Members, we aspire to enhance our community’s shared understandings and appreciation of our nation’s true histories, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. Delivered respectfully through our teaching and learning programs, our curriculum champions the inclusion of First Nations perspectives, informing reconciliation actions enacted at Aquinas.
As a College, our journey toward reconciliation is progressing positively. We have enacted initiatives to ensure Aquinas College is an equitable and inclusive school environment, that ensures all members of our college feel worthy and respected.
