St Mary's Catholic College

At Saint Mary's Catholic College, Kingaroy we are committed to fostering a community where every individual is valued and respected. Guided by our motto "Realise Your Dignity", we strive to create an inclusive environment that acknowledges and celebrates the rich cultural heritages of First Nations peoples.  

We envision a future where reconciliation is woven into the fabric of our school community. This means recognising and respecting the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and ensuring their voices are heard and valued. We aim to build strong, respectful relationships between members of our school community, promoting understanding, empathy, and mutual respect.  

Our commitment to Reconciliation involves:  

Education and Awareness: Integrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and perspectives into our curriculum, and providing opportunities for all students and staff to learn about and appreciate the contributions of First Nations peoples.  

Cultural Safety and Inclusion: Creating a safe and welcoming environment for First Nations students, families and staff where their cultural identities are respected and celebrated.  

Partnerships and Collaboration: Building meaningful partnerships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and working together to support the educational and cultural needs of First Nations students and all students.  

Equity and Opportunity: Ensuring that all students have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed and addressing any barriers to participation and achievement. 

Through these efforts, we aim to create a school community where every individual can truly "Realise Your Dignity", and where reconciliation is not just a goal, but a lived reality. Together we can build a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
