Our RAP Journey – Cathy France & Maddy Ryan

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

The Hills Montessori School in South Australia have had a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in place for several years. Principal Cathy France and RAP committee chair Maddy Ryan, will share their journey from writing the RAP, the actions the school has implemented, the progress they have celebrated and the activities they will undertake in the future to realise their school’s vision for reconciliation. Cathy and Maddy will share practical examples of the structure, processes, activities, and events they have put in place to ensure Indigenous Education and reconciliation are maintained as a high priority within their school and that their reconciliation actions are meaningful and sustainable.
