Our vision for reconciliation is a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples knowledges, cultures, and histories are valued and respectfully embedded within Rise and Shine Marrickville. Our vision is for ongoing partnership, where we work together towards a shared future of justice, equity, and understanding, empowering the next generations to embrace reconciliation and contribute to a more just and harmonious society. We strive to create a culturally safe and inclusive learning environment where all students, staff, and families feel a sense of belonging and connection. We are committed to building respectful and reciprocal relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. We acknowledge the past injustices and ongoing impacts of colonisation and are dedicated to actively working towards healing and reconciliation.
