Educating Boys Years 4 To 12 Since 1954
Indigenous Acknowledgement The St Edmund’s College community respectfully acknowledges the past and present traditional owners of this land on which we assemble, the Ngunnawal people and the Ngambri people. It is a privilege to be standing on Ngunnawal and Ngambri country. Together, we acknowledge the contributions of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians to the education of all children and people in this country we all live in and share together. As an Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) school, we follow the formal expression of EREA’s commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education and to Reconciliation, by supporting the EREA’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Educational Response (2014) for Access, Authentic Relationships, Quality Education, Education for Reconciliation, Justice and Advocacy, and Spirituality and Cultural Awareness for all students in our care. We are also happy to announce that in 2020 we published our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in conjunction with Narragunnawali. This RAP is our formal statement of commitment to reconciliation and outlines actions we plan to take in order to drive reconciliation by building relationships, respect and opportunities in the classroom, around the school and with the community. In 2020 the College had an enrolment of 30 identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from Years 4-12, whose academic and cultural needs were supported by our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Coordinator, Ashleigh Kerin. We currently have one member of staff who identifies as Aboriginal.
