ARTIST STATEMENT FROM Jarnda Bina Art

This artwork embodies the spirit of reconciliation and the journey towards achieving the goals outlined in the AngliSchools’ Reconciliation Action Plan.

The design is inspired by the Noongar seasons, representing the cyclical nature of time and the evolution of this important document.

Noongar Seasons Representation

The design is structured in accordance with the six Noongar seasons - Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba and Kambarang. Each segment symbolises a phase in the year, reflecting the continuous growth and development within the organisation’s reconciliation efforts. As the seasons transition, so does the progress of reconciliation, marking milestones and achievements along the way.

Evolution and Growth

The artwork illustrates the dynamic evolution of the Reconciliation Action Plan. Just as the seasons bring change and renewal, the Plan evolves through its various stages, continually striving towards deeper understanding and stronger connections between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities within AngliSchools.

Community Involvement

Embedded within the design are elements representing the staff and students who are integral to AngliSchools. Each individual is a vital part of this journey, contributing to the collective effort of reconciliation. The interconnected patterns and symbols highlight the unity and shared commitment of everyone involved.

Cultural Significance

The use of traditional Noongar symbols and motifs not only pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of the Noongar people but also serves as a reminder of the enduring connections to the land and its original custodians. This design is a celebration of culture, education, and the ongoing pursuit of reconciliation. Through this artwork, we honour the past, embrace the present, and look forward to a future where reconciliation is fully realised.

MESSAGE FROM Reconciliation Australia

Reconciliation Australia commends AngliSchools on the formal endorsement of their inaugural Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

Commencing an Innovate RAP is a crucial and rewarding period in an organisation’s reconciliation journey. It is a time to build strong foundations and relationships, ensuring sustainable, thoughtful, and impactful RAP outcomes into the future.

Since 2006, RAPs have provided a framework for organisations to leverage their structures and diverse spheres of influence to support the national reconciliation movement.

This Innovate RAP is both an opportunity and an invitation for AngliSchools to expand their understanding of its core strengths and deepen its relationship with its community, staff, and stakeholders.

By investigating and understanding the integral role it plays across its sphere of influence, AngliSchools will create dynamic reconciliation outcomes, supported by and aligned with their business objectives.

An Innovate RAP is the time to strengthen and develop the connections that form the lifeblood of all RAP commitments. The RAP program’s framework of relationships, respect, and opportunities emphasises not only the importance of fostering consultation and collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, but also empowering and enabling staff to contribute to this process, as well.

With close to 3 million people now either working or studying in an organisation with a RAP, the program’s potential for impact is greater than ever. AngliSchools is part of a strong network of more than 2,700 corporate, government, and not-for-profit organisations that have taken goodwill and intention, and transformed it into action.

Implementing an Innovate RAP signals a readiness to develop and strengthen relationships, engage staff and stakeholders in reconciliation, and pilot innovative strategies to ensure effective outcomes.

Getting these steps right will ensure the sustainability of future RAPs and reconciliation initiatives, and provide meaningful impact toward Australia’s reconciliation journey.

Congratulations to AngliSchools on your Innovate RAP and I look forward to following your ongoing reconciliation journey.

Karen Mundine Chief Executive Officer Reconciliation Australia

Acknowledgement of Country

AngliSchools acknowledges that our Head Office is situated on Whadjuk Noongar boodjar and our Wangaratta Office is located on Bpangerang Country. We deliver our services on the country of many traditional custodians and language groups throughout Australia.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians throughout the regions of Australia in which we are fortunate to operate, and their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We offer our respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

Cultural Warning

MESSAGE FROM THE Chief Executive

It wasn’t long ago that AngliSchools commenced working on shaping our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), the Reflect RAP. Many people spent months carefully considering how best to engage our schools in the reconciliation journey. Once the RAP was accepted by Reconciliation Australia, our schools and Head Office committed time and energy to diligently pursuing what we committed to do.

Now it’s time to take the next step in this Innovate RAP. Here we will continue to expand on and guide our initiatives and actions, our hearts and minds, our staff and students, towards more positive outcomes for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of the lands on which our schools are located, and for the non-Indigenous members of our communities as they continue to learn, grow and reconcile with First Nations people.

We are a system of sixteen schools located across three States - Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. We were founded by the Anglican Diocese of Perth in 1985. During the timeline for which this Innovate RAP is enacted, we will celebrate the 40th Anniversary of our organisation. Considering the long and rich history of our First Nations people, 40 years seems so short. Yet this RAP reminds us that we can and must learn from our history, committing to walking alongside one another today and tomorrow.

Our RAP process has been helpfully facilitated through engagement with and advice from Professor Len Collard of the University of Western Australia, and Director of the Moodjar Consultancy Group. Len is a Whadjuk Noongar Traditional Owner of the Boorloo (Perth) Metropolitan area and surrounding lands, rivers, swamps, ocean and its culture.

The RAP Working Group is a most active team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous staff from across AngliSchools. They guide so much of our journey towards reconciliation and inform a deeper engagement with the Indigenous people in the communities where our schools are located.

From small beginnings, we are ready to take this next step towards reconciliation in and through the Innovate RAP.

I’m delighted to commend this RAP to all members of the AngliSchools community and beyond.

The Reverend Peter Laurence OAM Chief Executive Officer AngliSchools

Our Vision for Reconciliation

AngliSchools commits to its role in the collective journey towards reconciliation. We strive to foster a conversation of reconciliation that is characterised by grace, dignity, and respect – by actively respecting, valuing and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures as the First Australians.

Our offices and schools are on a shared journey towards a just and compassionate society, where we celebrate differences and diversity, deepening our understanding of language, culture, and beliefs, to cultivate mutual respect and understanding.

We are committed to creating an educational environment that engages in inclusive practices and diverse relationships, prioritising the voices and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Through this commitment, we aim to empower our staff and students to engage in meaningful interactions with the history, current reality and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, fostering mutual understanding and shared growth.

Reconciliation is beyond an idea; it is a series of actions that will continue to empower our communities to remain faithful to listening to the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Our RAP

This Innovate RAP builds on the learning and our experiences from our first Reflect RAP. Our RAP Journey began more than five years ago, and initially led to the formation of our Reflect RAP that commenced in 2020. Despite the challenges of COVID and its impact upon school environments and learning frameworks, our schools have embraced their own respective journeys and celebrated many successes. For example, our involvement with consultants has led to cultural learnings for the Board during “on country” cultural learning days, to renaming of school places in some of our schools after discussions with local groups and consultants, to the formation of yarning circles and improved understandings. It has led to professional development initiatives across the country, forging the bond between our schools and their local First Nations communities.

However, we recognise that there is still much to do in order to continue our journey towards a highly successful, embedded approach towards reconciliation in all of our schools. Our leaders, staff and students alike, are critical to the achievement of our goals in this Innovate RAP.

Our RAP Working Group meets quarterly, to share experiences and learnings from

each other, and to ensure deliverables are met. Professor Len Collard from Moodjar Consulting was invited to participate in the Vision development meeting. Moodjar Consulting is an external Aboriginal advisory consultancy business. The RAP Working Group (RWG) includes representation from schools and Head Office within AngliSchools, and has First Nations representation through some of the staff members working on the RWG, and through consultation with consultancy groups. The RAP Working Group is led and championed by AngliSchools’ Chief Operating Officer and reports yearly to the Board through the Chief Executive Officer.

Key personnel listed in the deliverable actions section below include:

• Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

• Chief Operating Officer (COO)

• Director of Communications & Engagement (DoC&E)

• Director of Human Relations (DoHR)

• Director of Risk & Compliance (DoR&C)

• Director of Technology (DoT).

Our Partnerships

During the implementation of our previous RAP, our Head Office and all schools have continued to learn from each other and develop relationships with local Elders, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups and businesses. For example, Peter Moyes Anglican Community School consulted with Professor Len Collard and engaged with local First Nations artists, St James’ Anglican School undertook PD with the Madjitil Moorna Choir to learn and use an Acknowledgement Song. At Frederick Irwin Anglican School in Mandurah, a local artist designed the House shirts to correlate with the 6 Noongar seasons and the 6 Houses at the School. Trinity Anglican College in NSW has employed an Indigenous

Connections Coordinator to oversee their engagement. John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School connected with Olman Walley at the School through Boorloo, and organised school staff shirts through a local indigenous artist. They also connected with Alton Walley to conduct PD, and are using Magabala books for language lessons. At St George’s Anglican Grammar School, Aunty Lyn Collard undertook cultural training sessions. At Cobram Anglican Grammar School in Victoria, students participated in AsheFest in Shepparton, whereas at Peter Carnley Anglican Community School in WA,

Uncle Barry Winmar has a close connection with the School and has family that sits on the School Council. They have also engaged with Wadumbah Aboriginal Dance Group for performances at school events.

Overall, our schools are developing great confidence when planning events and liaising with local Elders to recognise significant occasions and celebrations. We seek to continue building appropriate and respectful relationships with/within the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. There may be an opportunity in the future to work with groups such as Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali, whose Reconciliation in Education team/ platform has already begun to be used to further develop this confidence to meaningfully build relationships. Our schools in the Eastern States already do so,

engaging in professional learning with the Narragunnawali Team - including webinars and workshops.

All our schools now incorporate regular Acknowledgements of Country at significant events and a Welcome to Country by an Elder when appropriate. Each school has its own connection to its own Anglican identity, but also in connecting with their local communities, have identified the Traditional Owners of the land in which each school stands. Our schools have begun to tailor Acknowledgements of Country relevant to their own stories in collaboration with local consultants, that are used in school assemblies and official meetings. We aim to build confidence and capacity within our staffing cohorts to be culturally responsive and create culturally safe places for learning.

In addition, it is becoming increasingly prevalent for First Languages to be used within schools. Learning about First Languages promotes understanding of the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, identities, cultures and contributions. Languages are a unique

way for students and children to reflect on their own ways of knowing and being in the world. They also learn communication skills in Language while enhancing English literacy skills; the role of languages in intra- and inter-cultural communication, relationships and identities; cultural awareness, empathy and respect; and the

importance of Language use, Language learning and keeping Language alive. Giving students and children chances to learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages can build their understanding of and connection to the Country each of our schools are located upon, and helps build an understanding of local cultural identities.

AngliSchools recognises the importance of obtaining permission from First Nations peoples for the accurate use of their language in our operations. We are committed to consulting with local communities and gaining consent for any language usage to ensure cultural sensitivity and respect for traditional knowledge. We are dedicated to working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to promote the preservation of their languages and cultures.

Relationships

Relationships are fundamental to the process of reconciliation. Relationships lead to and underpin understanding and connection. Our Anglican Identity is based in service and character. The roles of service and character are inevitably linked to each other and to Anglican schools. Acts of service, including serving others, build strong moral character and strengthen bonds. Both are about relationships, in that our character is bound up with how we treat people and service is about people working with each other.

Building relationships with First Nations peoples and communities is crucial for understanding perspectives, needs and priorities. It is through these relationships that we can gain a deeper understanding of the impacts of past actions and develop effective strategies for reconciliation.

It is through relationships that we can build trust, cooperation and mutual understanding.

Respect

Respect comes from believing, engaging with and learning from each other and from history. Our schools are welcoming places, enriched by the presence of all and exist for the good of all in our society. It is natural and desirable that we see this inclusion as positive and enriching, contributing to the greater good of the school community and bolstering the learning environment of the school.

Core to our Strategic Plan 2025 is “Inclusion, Justice and Respect”. Actions that are key to this area include respect for all people and cultures with a special focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.
