Indigenous Teaching and Learning

Mulgrave is committed to intercultural understanding and prioritises our Indigenous Education programme which is central to our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation (Canada’s official attempts to reckon with the shameful legacy and ongoing intergenerational impacts of residential schools). A school-wide Indigenous Education Coordinator guides our teaching and learning in this area, working with students, faculty and staff, families, our Board, and school leaders to advance our efforts towards Truth and Reconciliation, promote First People’s Principles of Learning, decolonise the curriculum, develop an appreciation for the richness of Canadian Indigenous cultures and worldviews, and cultivate mutually beneficial and authentic connections with local Indigenous communities.
