A reconciled Australia is where everyone is accepted with equal and equitable access to quality education and the ability to live a long, healthy life. We envision a place where a person’s culture, their social standing, education or beliefs are not barriers to acceptance and respect.
Casey Grammar School is committed to acknowledging and developing a deeper, shared understanding of the complex nature of Australia’s true past, with the goal of ongoing change for the better. We willingly participate in genuine engagement with the tensions that Australia’s histories and its trauma present for First Nations peoples, whilst also acknowledging the strong cultural connections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. Together we envision a just, equal and equitable future.
As a school, we will value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ knowledge and perspectives, seeking always to make Casey Grammar School a culturally responsive community for First Nations staff, students and families. We believe in creating a school where all people can respect and value the cultures, languages and stories of this Land.
Together, we embrace the call to create a more connected and allied country. We seek to create opportunities for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educators and students as well as non-Indigenous educators and students to feel empowered to take actions towards reconciliation in their own lives, both now and in the future.
