St Paul's School dreams a reconciled Australia. We believe that this begins at a local level and then builds to become part of our National Identity. We believe that Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples working collaboratively within our community will produce practical, recognized and measurable outcomes for all of our students and will raise the status of Indigenous peoples and cultures within our community. This partnership and collaboration will promote proportionate representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across all areas of Australian society. We believe a significant step to practical reconciliation is 'bridging the gap' of educational outcomes. St Paul's staff commit to gaining a greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories and how this connects to our work with the children in our school. We commit to better training ourselves to implement fully the cross curricular priority – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. We commit to building capacity to close the educational gap for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners. We will 'listen with our hearts to what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples really want.." (Reconciliation Australia)
