We are delighted to share with our school community that Mount Waverley Primary School has officially published our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

MWPS RAP

This important milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to reconciliation, respect, and partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Our RAP sets out how we will strengthen relationships, deepen understanding, and work collaboratively as a school community to create meaningful opportunities for all students, staff and families. It guides how our school will honour the past, engage in the present, and look forward to the future when all Australians live with respect, equity and harmony.

Why this matters

Reconciliation isn’t simply about one event or one part of the curriculum—it’s a whole-school commitment to creating an inclusive culture where every student feels represented, valued and connected. By embedding our RAP into our policies, programs and learning environments, we foster a school where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and contributions are recognised and celebrated.

What to expect

Over the coming months we will be working on actions such as:

• strengthening opportunities for student voice and leadership in reconciliation-related activities

• deepening teacher knowledge and curriculum-planning to include First Nations perspectives authentically

• partnering with local Indigenous communities and organisations to enhance our school’s cultural connections

• recognising, celebrating and reflecting on important dates and significant events in Indigenous culture

How you can be involved

We value the involvement of our families and wider community in this journey. Here are some ways you might engage:

• Ask your child about what they’re learning in class about Indigenous histories or cultures.

• Attend school events or assemblies where these themes are highlighted—your presence reinforces the message of unity and respect.

• Share with your child what reconciliation means to you, and talk about everyday acts of respect, kindness and inclusion.

• Stay informed: as actions are rolled out under our RAP, we will keep families updated via newsletters, school communications and our website.

By working together—students, staff, families and community—we move beyond words into meaningful action. Our RAP is a living document and a shared promise: to build a school culture grounded in empathy, respect, and shared learning.

Thank you for being a part of this important step forward with us.
