Wesley College

Wesley College’s vision for reconciliation is to celebrate our community and share responsibility for reconciliation. We are committed to deeply connecting with, and learning about, the cultures, languages, practices, and stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, students, their families and their communities.  We are committed to becoming a shining light for reconciliation in Australia. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples walk in two worlds; their cultures and connections to Country are a gift, benefiting all members of the community. 

Wesley College is located on Wadjuk Noongar Boodjar. Through respectful truth-telling processes, we recognise the wrongs committed against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their culture, languages and Country. We are sorry and are committed to contributing to change.  We celebrate the significant and continued contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and their resilience as the world’s oldest living population and cultures. We believe in quality education that supports all students to develop and promote cultural awareness and positively influence their communities. 

We continue to seek and develop deep and respectful connections in our community with the Noongar people so that we can appropriately embed culture, languages and foster a connection to Country. We commit to our Moorditj Mob program and the authentic experiences that foster a strong sense of belonging, cultural identity, and pride for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, parents, and staff.  We are committed to a time when equality and equity between all peoples in our community is a lived reality and when reconciliation is not simply an idea.  Booraka Warniny, By daring and by doing.
