Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 

Acknowledgement of Country

As part of our on-going commitment to reconciliation and building cultural respect and awareness, our school continues to actively incorporate an Acknowledgement of Country into our everyday learning and celebrations at school.  This includes at the start of assemblies and other significant events, as well as at the start of each day in classrooms.  Both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students and staff are invited to participate during Acknowledgements of Country – either by listening respectfully, or by volunteering to share their own Acknowledgement.  This practice is an important element of our school’s Reconciliation Action Plan, and has become part of daily welcome and rollcall procedure. Please note thatthere is no expectation that any student will asked to conduct an acknowledgement of country unless they choose to.

Celebrating days and weeks that are significant for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is an integral component of our school’s reconciliation action plan. During Term 2 the local Elders group, special guests and children from TG’s Childcare Centre attended the inclusive assembly to celebrate and learn about the importance of National Reconciliation Week.  This term we are planning our school’s NAIDOC event to provide an opportunity to show pride in, and respect for, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s histories and cultures.  An invitation for our school community to join us in our NAIDOC celebration on Tuesday 10 September and an outline of the program will be provided in the next few weeks.
