Djerriwarrh Community College’s vision for reconciliation is to foster positive two-way relationships built on trust and respect between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples throughout our classrooms, school and community.
We strive to build a community where our shared identity is shaped by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. We value, respect, and include these perspectives, recognising their vital role in creating a fair, just, and equitable nation for all.
Djerriwarrh Community College recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as the longest living culture and recognise the importance of this culture to the wellbeing and safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, families, staff and community members. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People’s strength, legacy and vision. We are committed to:
providing a culturally safe school;
recognising the harmful effects of racism,
standing up and confronting racism; and
amplifying the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
