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.
“When you start to develop your powers of empathy and imagination, the whole world opens up to you.” – Susan Sarandon
Richland Academy recently honoured Free the Children’s “We are Silent” campaign, by observing a 45 minute silence. The Grade 4 students reflected on this experience by examining the word EMPATHY.
The image below captures the thoughts and reflections of our Grade 4 students. What does empathy mean and how do we show it?
