The St. Edward's College community’s vision for reconciliation aligns with the EREA Touchstones. We strive for a united and respectful understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, rights, cultures, and histories.
At its heart, our vision for reconciliation is to further develop the teaching and understanding of Australia's true histories and to ensure an educationally authentic and inclusive College, which strengthens its relationships with all community members including members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
We embrace walking alongside all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, with an open mind and heart to establish respect and kindness for the Custodians of the oldest living cultures in the world and aim to nurture a school culture that promotes equality, equity and justice for all people.
