St Paul's College

At St Pauls College we are committed to actively listening to and empowering the voices of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our school community. We support all students to follow in the footsteps of Edmund Rice being guided by our values of faith, relationships, excellence and diversity. Reconciliation at St Pauls is a priority and grounded by our touchstones of inclusive community, liberating education, justice and solidarity and gospel spirituality. We endeavour to walk in solidarity with First Nations communities creating a place of equal and equitable opportunity and inclusivity where each Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voice is respected, heard and valued.

St Pauls staff are dedicated to supporting all students to become active participants and voices of reconciliation, informed by the cultures and perspectives of the local First Nations community. We strive to develop capable learners, informed by the voices and perspectives of the First Nations people in our community. We are committed to truth-telling, acknowledging and sharing true histories within our classrooms, and continuing to seek opportunities to build and maintain positive relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people.

As a College, we endeavour to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and perspectives within our community. We aim to develop respectful students who actively engage in opportunities to develop their knowledges of First Nations perspectives and cultural diversity, whilst initiating and leading reconciliation in the wider community. We support our students to become advocates against racism, leaders in the promotion of social justice for all and to connect with commmunity to practice their faith through actions.

We believe that reconciliation will lead to a more unified nation with the voices and perspectives of First Peoples heard, valued and respected.
