At St Margaret Marys School & Preschool, we are committed to reconciliation by nurturing respectful and collaborative relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Grounded in our Catholic ethos, we are guided by the values of justice, integrity, compassion, responsibility and perseverance. We walk together with First Nations students, families, and the wider community on a journey of listening, learning, and deepening our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples histories, perspectives and cultures. We strive to create an inclusive and culturally safe environment where all voices are valued and where First Nations students and families feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow. Reconciliation is a shared responsibility, and we are committed to continually learning and working together to build a more just, unified and compassionate future for all.
