“If representation’s in the school, people feel connected and feel safer.”
Watch James Cumming, Principal of Reservoir East Primary School explain how the school creates a welcoming environment for First Peoples students. By recruiting First Nations staff, embedding Indigenous perspectives into the curriculum, and providing cultural safety training, they’ve seen their First Peoples student population grow significantly.
While not every school is culturally safe yet, Reservoir East Primary School shows what can happen when leaders intentionally build trust, celebrate culture, and empower First Peoples families with choice.
