Indigenous Education

Indigenous Education

Emmaus Christian School acknowledges the Ngunnawal people as the traditional caretakers of the land on which the school is located. We also recognise all other people and families with connection to the lands of the ACT and surrounding region. We continue to learn and to live together on these ancient lands. We seek to faithfully live out our Christian call to reconciliation as we learn about each other’s stories, languages, and cultures.

As a school we aim to increase awareness for staff and students around a cultural issues and educational perspectives, with a focus on Indigenous culture.

Emmaus seeks to ensure that all cultural backgrounds are catered for and respected. Students from any cultural background are encouraged to participate and become fully involved in the educational programs of the school. 

Our School has an active Reconciliation Plan Team who ensure that we engage in cultural activities and education.
