We are proud to have launched our journey towards 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), affirming our commitment to building meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and fostering a culture of respect, understanding, and reconciliation throughout our College community.
Our newly established RAP Committee held its inaugural meeting on Tuesday 16th June 2026, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the College. The committee is led by College Co-Founder Ms Rahat as President, and is co-chaired by Ms Tanja and Ms Hadeer. We are also delighted to have our Indigenous Outreach students actively participating in the committee, ensuring student voice and leadership are central to our reconciliation journey.
As part of this commitment, members of the RAP Committee visited the City of Whittlesea Aboriginal Gathering Place in Mernda on Tuesday, 28 July. Two of our Year 7 Indigenous Outreach students, Rayyan and Mahmoud, joined staff on this valuable learning experience.
During the visit, our group explored the many spaces within the purpose-built Aboriginal Gathering Place, which was officially opened in February this year. The visit provided an opportunity to learn about the significance of the facility as a welcoming space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to connect, celebrate culture, share knowledge, and strengthen community relationships. It also allowed our committee members to deepen their understanding of local First Nations history, culture, and the importance of creating genuine partnerships with Indigenous communities.
A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) provides a practical framework for organisations to contribute to reconciliation by taking meaningful actions that promote respect, relationships, and opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through our RAP journey, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø aims to continue embedding reconciliation into everyday school life, creating opportunities for learning, reflection, and collaboration across our community.
We look forward to sharing this journey with our students, families, and wider community as we continue to learn together, strengthen relationships, and contribute positively towards reconciliation. We are excited about the initiatives and opportunities that lie ahead and thank all members of our RAP Committee for their dedication and commitment to this important work.
