KEY STEPS FOR DEVELOPING A RAP
Establish a RAP Working Group
A Working Group ensures the responsibility of implementing reconciliation initiatives does not sit with one person. Your Working Group must include your Principal/Director, and can include teaching and non-teaching staff, parents, students and community members.
Complete the Reflection Survey
To assist with planning, the Reflection Survey gives a snapshot of the current state of reconciliation in your school or early learning service.
Write a Vision for Reconciliation
A Vision clearly communicates your school or early learning service’s commitment to reconciliation to the community.
Add RAP Actions
There are 40 RAP Actions to select from, including 14 that are a minimum requirement. Your Working Group can also set RAP Action-aligned Goals and Deliverables.
Submit the RAP
RAPs are submitted to the Principal/Director for approval and then to Reconciliation Australia who will review the RAP's Vision for Reconciliation and Acknowledgement of Country statements prior to publication on the ‘Who has a RAP?’ map.
Refresh the RAP
12 months after publication, the RAP will be reverted to draft to allow the RAP Working Group to ensure it remains a dynamic, living document. While all data from the previous version of the RAP will be retained, the refresh process involves, at minimum, re-completing the Reflection Survey and re-submitting the RAP.
The RAP Framework
The Narragunnawali RAP framework outlines a whole-scale approach to driving reconciliation by building relationships, respect and opportunities in the classroom, around the school or early learning service and with the community.
