Reconciliation Action Plan

Reconciliation Action Plan

At Perth College, we are committed to our role in the collective journey towards reconciliation.

We strive to:

  • Actively respect, value and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures
  • Create a strong sense of belonging, cultural identity and pride within our community
  • Engage in inclusive practices and diverse relationships

The Perth College Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was approved by Narragunnawali in August 2020 and launched in December 2020. Reconciliation is beyond an idea, it is an action, and we will continue to empower our community to embrace the journey.

Our actions speak louder than words and we are currently committed to the following programs:

  • Ongoing implementation of the Perth College Reconciliation Action Plan across the School according to RAP targets
  • Establishment of the PC RAP Working Group
  • Establishment of the Perth College Bush Tucker Garden
  • Establishment of a dedicated meeting place, known as the Ngala Maya room
  • Cultural competency training for all staff
  • Visual Art projects and Performing Arts collaborations with First Nations community members
  • Ongoing support and leadership opportunities offered to Indigenous students
  • Activities to acknowledge and educate students on National Reconciliation Week and National Sorry Day
  • Celebration across the whole school of PC NAIDOC Week in September
  • PC Cultural Exchange in Laverton in partnership with the Shooting Stars
  • PC Orientation program to assist with the smooth transition of new students into the Senior School and Boarding House

As a school community, we will continue to improve on our projects to achieve our RAP goals and are always open to extending our connections now, and into the future. If you would like to recommend any initiatives or programs we could be a part of, or to get in touch, contact development@pc.wa.edu.au.
