Xavier Catholic College

Our vision for reconciliation at Xavier Catholic College is to achieve an evident and proud respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, histories, cultures and languages. We recognise the Butchulla people, Traditional Custodians of the Land, on which our school stands.  

At Xavier Catholic College we are committed to building strong links with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to share stories, cultural values and knowledge of the First Peoples of Australia. We see reconciliation as sharing individual and communal stories and being open to learning about and valuing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their lived experiences.  Our goal is to support equitable and equal opportunities and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. We are committed to creating a culturally safe and understanding environment for our students and families.     

We will actively engage all students, staff, and community members in learning about and embracing reconciliation, integrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives throughout our curriculum and school activities. Through ongoing cultural competency training and meaningful collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, we aim to build a shared future grounded in mutual respect and understanding.  We will continue to walk with First Nations peoples, and act with respect, companionship, compassion and hope, working together as agents of positive change towards reconciliation.
