RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN (RAP) UPDATE

Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Update

We are proud to share the continued progress of our First Nations work across the school, led by Felicity (ACEO). Her dedication, initiative, and strong presence across the school have been outstanding, as she works closely with both students and staff to build relationships and continue to implement cultural perspectives into our learning and school environment.

Students across all year levels have been engaging in a range of rich and meaningful learning experiences. These include creating class Acknowledgement of Country, exploring First Nations Dreaming Stories such as How the Birds Got Their Colours, The Rainbow Serpent, and How the Kangaroo got their tails? Students have also participated in Imagination Station activities in Reception, creek walks across several classes, Culture Beats sessions with our Year 4–6 First Nations students, and ongoing learning in our garden and Cultural Hub spaces.

To capture and celebrate this journey, we will begin developing a scrapbook that documents our ongoing work and growth as a school community.

Term 1 RAP Priorities

Building on our Term 1 work, we have continued to strengthen relationships, respect, and opportunities across our school:

• Relationships in the Classroom: Students contributed to our map of First Nations language groups, building an understanding of the diversity of cultures across Australia. 
• Respect Around the School: Each class learnt about the significance of Acknowledgement of Country and created their own, incorporating it into their daily morning routines. 
• Respect with the Community: Students developed a deeper understanding of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags and their meanings. 
•  

Term 2 RAP Priorities

This term, we are focusing on the following key actions:

• Respect in the Classroom: Teaching students about our shared commitment to reconciliation. 
• Relationships Around the School: All staff will revisit and complete the Culturally Responsive Self-Reflection Tool. 
• Opportunities Around the School: We will begin researching anti-racism policies, guidelines, and resources to strengthen our whole-school approach. 

We look forward to continuing this important work together, particularly as we prepare for significant events such as Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week later this term.

We encourage our First Nations families to continue reaching out to Felicity for support or guidance as needed.
