Page 10 - Catholic Education Cairns RAP

Our RAP
In 2017, the Executive Director of Catholic Education Services Cairns requested a Reconciliation Action Plan working group be formed. The Reconciliation Action
Plan (RAP) strengthens reconciliation initiatives actively undertaken and led by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander staff across the Diocese since 2013 and aligns with the strategic directions. The RAP strengthens the organisation’s reconciliation commitment to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples and aligns with its Strategic Directions. The RAP Working Group was formed in 2018 and comprises six Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander members, and four non-Indigenous members. The RAP Working Group members are holders of valuable knowledge and expertise with strong links to key stakeholders in the wider community.
The CCEC acknowledges Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories, cultures and spiritualities and commits to reconciliation through words and actions. The Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) for CCEC is everybody’s business and is embedded in our core vision. The implementation of the RAP will empower Aboriginal and/ or Torres Strait Islander staff as well as building mutually respectful relationships across our organisation and in partnership with other stakeholders. To ensure effective implementation of the RAP we have developed a list of measures to track our progress. We have appointed a RAP champion, Director of Student Wellbeing and Diversity, who is a member of the Strategic Leadership Team. As RAP champion regular reports on progress of the RAP will be provided to the Strategic Leadership Team. The RAP Working Group will regularly monitor and track progress of the RAP implementation.
