Kinross Primary School

At Kinross Primary School our vision for reconciliation is to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are treated equal and equitably, with inclusiveness and respect.  We are committed to continuing to respectfully develop strong and effective partnerships between the local Noongar people and the wider community. These relationships will be based on mutual respect, understanding, knowledge and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, heritages and cultures. We feel a sense of pride in knowing we are doing our part and working in collaboration with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and wider community to make reconciliation a reality in Australia.   We will improve race relations by increasing the opportunities for students, staff and families to learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and perspectives, especially that of the Noongar community foster knowledge, understanding, acceptance and respect. We will continue to work with the Noongar community to educate our school community through the use of the Aboriginal Curriculum.   Kinross PS will be an inclusive school environment where everyone, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and families have equal and equitable opportunities within our learning community. Our school will continue to actively demonstrate our work towards our reconciliation goals of,  educating our school community about the ongoing impact and  effects of colonisation, racism and exclusion to deepen our understanding the injustice and inequities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as, the strengths and resilience shown by First Nations peoples in the face of discrimination. This will lead towards historical acceptance and ensure past mistakes are not repeated.
