Our Reconciliation Action Plan
QCAN is proud to launch our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) for July 2022 - July 2023. We value the opportunity to take these next steps with our first Reconciliation Action Plan and hope that our commitment and work is a source of inspiration for our sector.
We look forward to evolving our knowledge and practice as we whole heartedly embrace the commitments we have made in this RAP.
QCAN's Vision for Reconciliation
-
Queensland OSHC Services are welcoming and safe places for all Australian First Nations educators, children and families
-
Queensland OSHC educators pursue an active and continuous professional and personal growth journey in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
-
Children in Queensland Outside School Hours Care services learn about the histories, cultures and perspectives of Australia’s First Nations peoples
About our Artwork
During the development of our Reflect RAP, QCAN had the opportunity to commission a series of beautiful artworks from First Nations artist, Jennifer Kent.
Jennifer Kent is a multicultural First Nations contemporary artist with ancestry from the Jinibara, Quandamooka, Wakkawakka and Darumbal tribes. Jennifer also has kinship with the Waluwarra and Kalkadoon tribes.
Reconciliation in Education
Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Education supports schools and early learning services in Australia to support meaningful reconciliation within their communities. The Narragunnawali online platform is free to access and contains a library of curriculum resources and professional learning to support the implementation of reconciliation initiatives in education. Outside School Hours Care services can develop their own Reconciliation Action Plan through the Narragunnawali platform.
