Our Land Acknowledgement shows recognition of and respect for Indigenous peoples from the past and the present. We acknowledge that the property of Richland Academy is situated upon traditional territories of the Anishinabek, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit, Mississauga and the Wendat peoples.
Recognizing this land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial.
We just had to share this story from Mindshift, an excellent blog that focuses on how we learn. This story focuses on the value of failure as an integral part of learning, and how students can be encouraged to learn from these experiences. At Richland we recognize the risks our students take every day with their learning, and we are here to support them.
To quote the inventor Thomas Edison, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
