Reconciliation Action Plan

Sacred Heart College wishes to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which the College lies, the Whadjuk (Perth) people of the Noongar Nation. We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and pay our respect to their elder's past, present and emerging.

 

At Sacred Heart, we are committed to building mutually respectful relationships between the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians that allow us to work together to solve problems and generate greater success. We aim to provide an equal and equitable learning environment that values Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Sacred Heart College believes that education is key to supporting health and wellbeing with respect, equality and equity for all students to contribute.

 

Sacred Heart College is committed to raising awareness and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures and to changing attitudes. Through understanding and acknowledging the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s cultures and knowledge, we will begin to work collaboratively and in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their communities in a spirit of reconciliation.
