We intentionally commit to anti-discrimination by recognising and celebrating difference, diversity, equity, and inclusion through our young people's guiding statements. The concept of kindness, being respectful, and 'doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do', along with restorative practice within our relationships and behaviour policy, allows us all to commit to the idea of cultural humility. Our perspective locally begins with self-reflection.

 

We ask ourselves, 'Who are we? Where in the world are we? What are our values, morals, and ethics? How do these influence others?' By understanding ourselves, we lay the foundation for understanding others, fostering a culture of empathy and respect.

​

We must hold space for our young people, listening to the small things, knowing they will tell us the big things. It's about understanding our own internal biases as educators, mitigating power imbalances at all levels, and understanding that this is lifelong learning for all of us.
