St Columba College

St Columba College acknowledges and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of Kaurna Country, their histories and cultures and the continuing importance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community.  We will remember their strong and everlasting connection to the land, sky, waterways, culture and community, and the foundation on which we live, work and learn, which always was and always will be Kaurna Country.

We are a faith-filled community which is committed to a reconciled Australia where everyone is treated with love, dignity and respect, with equal and equitable opportunities to flourish in a culturally safe space.  Through our faith and traditions we strive to recognise and celebrate the spiritual connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country.

We commit to respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives within all aspects of our culture through sustained engagement of staff, students and the school community to further our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.  

St Columba strives to create a learning community where the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is celebrated, allowing equal and equitable opportunities for all students in our care to thrive.  

We commit to fostering an environment of truth telling and recognise the cultures, histories and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are integral to creating a reconciled future and inclusive school community.
