Reconciliation Action Plan

Holmesglen's Reconciliation Action Plan supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through respect, partnerships, and meaningful opportunities.

Our commitment to reconciliation

Holmesglen is committed to reconciliation by respecting and celebrating the cultures, histories, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through its Reconciliation Action Plan, the Institute fosters unity through partnerships, opportunities, and cultural understanding. Holmesglen promotes awareness and engagement, ensuring that reconciliation is integral to education, employment, and daily practices. This commitment reflects the institute's vision of equity, diversity, and respect, aiming to create a lasting positive impact on the lives of First Nations peoples.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan journey

Holmesglen's Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) focuses on four key pillars: Relationships, Respect, Opportunities, and Governance. The RAP aims to foster meaningful connections with First Nations communities, enhance cultural understanding, and create a culturally safe environment for students. By integrating First Nations cultures into teaching, promoting opportunities for engagement, and building sustainable governance structures, Holmesglen is committed to creating a more inclusive environment. The plan also involves upskilling staff and working closely with First Nations communities and partners to support reconciliation efforts effectively.
