Loreto College Marryatville recognises the ongoing relationship to Country of First Nations Peoples. We recognise that we have much to learn and understand about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, perspectives, cultures, and recognise that their histories, traditions and connections with Land and spirituality continue today. Our vision for reconciliation is to create meaningful opportunities for staff, students, families and the wider community to learn about the rich traditions and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and to contribute to a just and equitable world. In the spirit of Mary Ward, we intend to develop our understanding of reconciliation by applying our values of verity, justice, and sincerity to ensure that we are always listening to and learning from local First Nations Peoples. We will continue to engage in conversations and build respectful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community about reconciliation, that will enable further conversation and understanding. Together we will ensure that we have a common purpose to ensure that we walk together to create a just and equitable society for all.
