Applications for the Narragunnawali Awards 2021 are open until midnight on Friday 30 April! Your school or early learning service could be nationally recognised for your reconciliation in education initiatives, rewarded with a $10,000 cash prize as well as media and promotional opportunities.

Who can apply

Any school or early learning service can apply for a Narragunnawali Award but the school or early learning service needs to have a published Narragunnawali Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) when the application is submitted. If you haven’t yet developed a RAP, you can do so Narragunnawali.org.au.

How to start an application

To start an application, members of the school or early learning service’s RAP Working Group can follow prompts under the ‘Your RAP’ tab when logged into the Narragunnawali platform.

If the school or early learning service is part of a Cluster RAP, you may only apply as an individual school or early learning service.

For more information on  eligibility and applications, please take a look at the Narragunnawali Awards 2021 Information Pack.
