Acknowledgement of Country
St John’s Grammar School acknowledges the Kaurna people as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we live, work and learn. We respect the Kaurna People’s spiritual and cultural relationships with their Country. We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
At St John’s Grammar School, we are committed to reconciliation and stand together with all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations to help share knowledge, culture, understanding and respect.
Naa Marni,
Kaurna Miyurna, yaitya, yarta-muthanya kaurna yarta. Tampinthi yalarra parnuku yaitya, parnuku tapa, purruna puru purruna.
We acknowledge the Kaurna people and their Native Title rights to Country. We respect their spiritual beliefs are still important today and acknowledge the elders past, present and emerging.
Ngaityalya, My respect.
Our Vision For Reconciliation
At St Johns Grammar School, our vision for reconciliation is to create a place of learning that respects and celebrates the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. We actively seek to provide an inclusive and diverse workplace and learning environment that prioritises cultural safety.
We acknowledge the rich culture of the Kaurna people as the Traditional Custodians of the Land where our school is located and strive to walk side by side with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. We are committed to strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, fostering collaborative partnerships for the sharing of knowledge and ideas providing opportunities to respectfully listen and learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples about truth telling, current affairs and inform our vision for a shared future.
