Vision for Indigenous Students

We envision a school setting where our children are knowledgeable of our traditional way of life
and are supported in the pursuit of this knowledge so that they will have a sense of belonging
within the school setting and within their ethnic communities.
This will be achieved by acquiring the skills for learning made possible through our places of
learning: home, community, and school.
With the gift and skill of reading our children will have doors opened for their futures, they
will learn of their ancestors and heritage and they will acquire the skills and knowledge of
contemporary teachings.
