Reconciliation Action Plan

We are pleased to inform you that Ceres Primary School has committed to developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). 

Our RAP supports our school to build knowledge and pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures and contributions. 

Through our RAP, we will strengthen relationships, respect and opportunities in the classroom, around the school, and with the community. 

Developing our RAP is a long-term commitment, one that requires ongoing consideration and collaborative effort. Within our community, there is unique knowledge and valuable experience that we would love to see reflected in the development and implementation of our RAP.

We are seeking your input and support so that our RAP creates meaningful and sustainable change. This letter is a call to action for parents and carers to express their interest in joining our RAP Working Group.

RAP Working Group members are dedicated to driving reconciliation within our school community, and can support with the coordination and administration of RAP initiatives. 

If you would like to discuss being involved in the RAP Working Group, please get in touch with Josh and Jamie via email.

We’re building our RAP using Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali program. Find out more about this program here: reconciliation.org.au/narragunnawali
