The aim of the FIRE (Friends Igniting Reconciliation through Education) Carrier Project is to promote respect, fairness and inclusion for Aboriginal people. The FIRE Carrier Project promotes enculturation and reconciliation in Sandhurst schools. The FIRE Carrier project Covenant is like a Reconciliation Action Plan.

What is the role of a FIRE Carrier?

To be a FIRE Carrier is to exercise an important leadership role in the school community. FIRE carriers are students and teachers that share a passion for learning about Aboriginal culture and history and are committed to sharing this knowledge and promoting reconciliation within and beyond the school community.

Our vision for reconciliation is to be a place of learning, teaching and sharing that respects Aboriginal protocols, histories and culturse. We will stive to 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 historis and cultures are respectemd, vlaued and celebrated.

Our Covenant

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