At Cloverdale Schools, we envision a future in which strong, respectful relationships exist between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian community. We are committed to fostering connections that acknowledgeand honour the rich cultures and histories of First Nations peoples.
Cloverdale Schools is situated on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar, and we believe in providing a quality education that supports all students in developing cultural awareness. Our goal is to empower all students to positively influence their communities by embracing the diversity and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, and cultures.
Through open dialogue, collaboration, and shared learning, we strive to create an inclusive, welcoming environment where every student, family, and staff member feels valued. We aim to build a school culture based on equity, equality, understanding, and reconciliation, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are heard and respected.
We are dedicated to developing deep, respectful connections with the First Nations community through truth-telling and learning processes. By embedding culture, language, and a connection to Country, we seek to enrich the educational experience and promote a shared commitment to reconciliation.
