Queanbeyan Public School

Our vision for reconciliation at Queanbeyan Public School is based on a respectful shared understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories. We strive for unity within the school and local communities. Our school is moving forward as one community, where strong relationships are established and maintained with cultural understanding and a common goal of reconciliation. Through positive collaborations and high expectations, we are intent on achieving equity and equality for all within our school community.    We are committed to continuing to acknowledge and respectfully promote a deep understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories in our teaching and learning pedagogy. The implementation of our curriculum aims to authentically maintain the cultural and historical integrity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Our school community will continue to build a greater awareness of and participation in the reconciliation process through regular formal and informal discussions about cultural responsiveness and teachers engaging in annual professional learning based around Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures.    We will continue on our culturally respectful journey to ensure cultural proficiency within our school and promote positive and trusting relationships for all members of the community. Through our sphere of influence, we will continue the conversations about reconciliation and promote actions for a united future.
