At Flaxmill School P-6, our vision is to cultivate a future where the First Peoples of Australia are honoured, respected, and celebrated as the Traditional Custodians of this Land. We build and maintain a harmonious community that embraces the cultural diversity of First Nations peoples and promotes understanding through genuine, respectful partnerships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. Together, we are committed to acknowledging past wounds, addressing injustices faced by First Nation Peoples, and creating pathways for shared unity, ensuring that the rich heritage and wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are interwoven into the fabric of our nation for generations to come. We will provide staff, students, and families with opportunities to further develop cultural responsiveness, fostering knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, and cultures. Our valuesRespect, Honesty, Responsibility, Learning, and Friendshipare embedded into our school culture and our reconciliation journey. We believe reconciliation involves working together, acknowledging and celebrating the diversity of First Nations peoples and cultures, and learning from one another. Â
