Clonard College, Herne Hill VIC – Celebrating Australia’s First People
At Clonard College, we endeavour to provide a teaching and learning environment that promotes and facilitates respect, trust and positive relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our wider community. We strive to build and maintain meaningful relationships with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and ensure that their voices are heard and listened to so that we can walk together and culture can be an active part of school life at Clonard.
Clonard’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student group is active in educating others to create change. Linked in with our local Wathuarong community students champion reconciliation, share culture and identity and foster positive relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. With an emphasis on recognition and empathy, these encounters result in all students valuing and building connections with their world, their community, and their environment.
