VISION FOR RECONCILIATION

Our vision is for a country that is united in reconciliation. We dream of a national culture embedded in equity and equality, one that acknowledges and accepts our shared history and promotes positive race relationships.

In the context of our school, this represents equal educational and wellbeing outcomes for First Nations students at Footscray West Primary School. We are committed to respectfully embedding First Nations perspectives in our units of work across all year levels, in order to promote rich, ongoing learning for all students, staff and the wider community.

We are committed to building and maintaining consistent practices that promote respectful relationships between our school and the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

In addition to this, we aim to create an inclusive, diverse and safe workplace that demonstrates pride and respect for our First Nations Peoples.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

At Footscray West Primary School, we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land we live, work and learn on, the Boon Wurrung and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, recognising their continuing connections to the land, water and sky. We bring this sentiment to life through how we live, work, learn, and play together. We recognise First Nations Peoples as our first educators, and we value their continuous sharing of knowledge and experiences.
