Beaconhills College has proudly launched its fourth Reconciliation Action Plan at a special event on Thursday 24 April.

The RAP identifies key priorities for the College that support our acknowledgement and respect of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culture.

More than 150 people including Wurundjeri Elder Murrundindi, Indigenous representatives, Beaconhills Executive Principal Stephen McGinley, local VIPs and community members gathered at the Pakenham Campus Year 9 centre to celebrate the positive spirit of reconciliation.

The night featured performances by the Djirri Djiiri dancers and College musicians. There were also First Nations stallholders and tasty food samples made with Indigenous Australian ingredients.

College Board Chair Dr David Moseley thanked Elders Murrundindi and Aunty Fay, along with the College’s Head of Indigenous Initiatives, Birra (Lynette George).

“Tonight is a reminder of the journey we’re all on together – one of listening, learning, and walking alongside one another,” Dr Moseley said. “It’s a journey that renews our determination to create a more respectful, inclusive, and reconciled future.”
