Our vision for reconciliation is to be a place of learning and teaching that respects Aboriginal protocols, history and culture. We will have strong and
mutually beneficial relationships with Aboriginal communities. These relationships will provide for the sharing of knowledge and ideas, and the
opportunity to listen and learn from Aboriginal Australians about the past, their current circumstances, and their vision for the future. We will be a place
where Aboriginal culture is respected and celebrated.

Our Covenant
Our school community was presented with ideas for Reconciliation in our local community by the Sandhurst Aboriginal Team, who were and are
involved in the continuing development of our Covenant. Our covenant was originally developed by students & staff in consultation with the Aboriginal
team from Catholic Education Sandhurst.

St. Michael's Primary School provides a child-safe environment, where all students have the right to be treated with respect and dignity, and will be protected from harm.

The Sandhurst Catholic Education Office and Schools acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which their Offices and Schools are built. We commit to working in partnership with Aboriginal people for reconciliation and justice.
