At Clayton Montessori Academy, our vision for reconciliation is an Australia that fully acknowledges, values, and respects the cultures, histories, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Â We envision a united nation built on mutual respect, historical and contemporary truth-telling, and a shared commitment to justice, equality and equity. This journey requires the courage to learn, unlearn, and relearn to challenge assumptions and deepen our understanding of First Nations peoples cultures and histories. Our commitment to reconciliation is grounded in our core values: respect, honesty, diversity, inclusion, justice, and advocacy for childrens rights. We strive to meaningfully and respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives throughout our programs, creating a sense of being, belonging, and becoming for every child, family, and educator within our service and the broader community.
