We believe in following the example of Jesus in serving those in our community and being intentional when sharing our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and ways of life. At Sunshine Christian School, we are committed to being an inclusive and compassionate community that respectfully embeds First Nations perspectives in our curriculum, ensuring all students see their cultures and identities represented.
We continue to regularly provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from the community, to meaningfully engage with our students in all key learning areas. Our school is committed to fostering equal and equitable education opportunities and outcomes. We acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are self-determining. We strive to create and maintain a school that values inclusiveness, awareness and appreciation of the local First Nations community and everything we can learn from their services and time. We acknowledge past and present hurt brought upon Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their strength and resilience. We are committed to being respectful and reflective through our practices towards reconciliation.
