The Principals' Association of Victorian Catholic Secondary Schools acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of Country. We pay respect to Elders, past, present, and emerging. We honour our responsibility and opportunities as a Catholic educational institution to respect and understand Australia’s Indigenous peoples, who have walked upon, and cared for this land and its waterways for thousands of years. We acknowledge the continued deep spiritual connection and relationship to Country, committing ourselves to the ongoing journey of reconciliation and truth telling of our shared history. We make this statement believing that we can walk together to a better future.
