A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a formal commitment to reconciliation. It documents how the school or early learning service will strengthen relationships, respect and opportunities in the classroom, around the school/service and with the community.

RAP Working Groups are usually members of an educational community who are willing to drive the RAP development/implementation journey. 

A diverse RAP Working Group will ensure the responsibility for developing, implementing and maintaining the RAP does not sit with one person, or be the responsibility of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives. A collaborative approach will ensure the RAP incorporates diverse perspectives, and represents the diversity of our educational community in empowering and sustainable ways. 

The RAP Working Group should include: 

• Members of the local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community (build relationships with community prior to asking community members to contribute to reconciliation activities in your school or early learning service). 
  • The Principal/Director (who will ensure executive-level support, and will need to approve the RAP via the Narragunnawali platform). 
  • Teachers and educators. 
  • Parents/carers and wider family and community representatives.

If you are a parent/carer and/or wider family and community representative, please contact the school office if you are interested in becoming an active member of our RAP.
