Our school sits on Larrakia Country.
In partnership with the Larrakia people, we aim to support and provide opportunities for the school community to experience and respect the awe and resilience of the oldest living culture on Earth – that of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In striving for a more unified society, the true history of a colonised Australia will continue to be embedded in our curriculum whilst we recognise and highlight the significant contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in shaping our country’s current identity.
We aim to meaningfully embed practices and strategies which fully value the cultures and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our reconciliation journey is informed and guided by the Student Reconciliation Committee, Remote Aboriginal Advisory Group and the Principal’s First Nations Advisory Committee. These groups provide a collective “voice of equity” for the School.
We yearn for a more unified Australia. Haileybury Rendall School has the structures and policies in place to improve equality and equity within our school community. We are actively engaging with the Larrakia and the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to provide an inclusive and culturally proud learning environment for all.
