Reconciliation Action Plan

We thank all families for the opportunity of our Pupil Free Day last week in order for staff to look at the steps forward to creating a Reconciliation Action Plan. Our day began by being welcomed to Country by Billy Briggs of the Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation. Billy spoke passionately about the need for Reconciliation and greater equity for First Nations Peoples across Australia. Staff then engaged in a number of activities including media analysis of recent news issues that affect Aboriginal Australians, the data from our recent Reconciliation survey and what are the prescribed first steps that would be included in our Reconciliation Action Plan. We were fortunate to be assisted on the day by Jeanette Morris, the advisor for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Education with the Catholic Education Office. 

Our next steps will include forming a RAP advisory group to finalise our inaugural document, with the plan that this would be launched at the end of Term 1 in 2023.
