Reconciliation Action Plan
Our Vision for Reconciliation
Empowered by our Christian faith, our vision for reconciliation is to celebrate community and share responsibility for reconciliation. We are committed to deepening our knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories, beliefs, spiritualities and cultures to advance reconciliation.
Our vision for reconciliation is informed by our corporate vision that LESNW is a community of learning communities that is thriving, supportive and compassionate, having a common foundation, that collaborate to enable each community to achieve its vision.
It is our desire to influence, support, and collaborate with communities within the Lutheran context, the wider education sector, and the broader community to embrace reconciliation. We are committed to restoring broken relationships and to work towards equity and respect, and:
“… recognise that God intentionally created each person, and that each person is uniquely gifted to live in relationship with God and others.” Growing deep (LEA, p. 7)
Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Education
Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Education program has resources and tools for schools and early learning services to contribute to the reconciliation movement.
Through the Narragunnawali online platform, schools and early learning services can develop a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), and teachers and educators can access professional learning and curriculum resources to support the implementation of reconciliation initiatives.
Narragunnawali (pronounced narra-gunna-wally) is a word from the language of the Ngunnawal people and means alive, wellbeing, coming together and peace.
