ISV Reconciliation
Action Plan (RAP)
Reflect 2024-25
ISV's Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) captures our initial steps to engage more fully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples and culture.
It is designed to move beyond symbolic gestures, focusing on practical and actionable steps to:
- Support the cultural safety of First Nations staff and students
- Strengthen cultural competency across Victoria’s teaching workforce
- Integrate a deep appreciation of Indigenous culture to enhance the wellbeing and safety of Aboriginal students
- Support teaching staff and school leaders to foster inclusive environments that respect and understand Indigenous histories, cultures and languages.
We encourage our ISV community to take to heart the importance of acknowledging those who came before us and who continue to live alongside us in this beautiful part of Australia.
Cover art: St Michael's Grammar School
'Identity' art project
The St Michael’s Grammar ‘Identity’ art project, undertaken by students from the Early Learning Centre to Year 3 and Year 12, is a profound example of how art can serve as a bridge between cultures and generations.
Guided by First Nation’s Artist Bronwyn David, a Palawa-Trawlwoolway woman, and Art Teacher Jade Turner, the students embarked on a journey of self exploration and cultural education.
Through the art-making process, they engaged in meaningful conversations about identity, expressing what was significant to them, what represented them, and what they cherished.
ISV thanks St Michael’s Grammar School for generously allowing us to use their ‘Identity’ art project on the cover of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
