St Patrick's School

St Patrick's Catholic Primary school's vision for reconciliation is to develop and promote a shared understanding of reconciliation for staff, students and families so that we can engage respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures.    We aim to provide culturally responsive learning environments and structures free from racism and bias, creating a space that promote equal and equitable opportunities for First Nation students and all students to attain success in education and life.   Guided by our school Mission Statement, our vision for reconciliation incorporates Faith, Community, Learning, Diversity and Kindness.   Faith - Inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ and Nano Nangle to be Faithful and True, St Patrick's school aims to provide an environment that supports equality and equity in all aspects of life and ensure that we develop relationships, respect and opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.   Community - Building respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the community and working together to ensure that all members of the community feel empowered, valued and supported.  Learning - Offering a culturally responsive and supportive environment where learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories is valued by all staff, students and families.   Diversity - Recognising the gift that diversity brings to our community and celebrating the richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories in the community.    Kindness - Following our Gospel values that all people are made in the image of God, we will ensure that we walk alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our school and the community with respect and value the contributions they bring to our Nation.
