Ben Taylor — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 08:40:06 +0000

Reconciliation Australia is proud to announce the winners of the fifth Narragunnawali Awards; the only national awards that recognise and celebrate Australian schools and early learning services that are implementing outstanding reconciliation initiatives.

Schools category winner: Briar Road Public School, Dharawal Country, Airds NSW

Chair of the awards judging panel and Reconciliation Australia Board Director, Sharon Davis said it was clear to the judges that Briar Road Public School has built a place where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students are thriving, and where Pacifica, Māori, and non-Indigenous students and families are also included and uplifted.

‘Students, staff, and families describe the school as a place where reconciliation is both expected and celebrated, and community ownership of the journey is evident,’ they said.

“While it embeds Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and perspectives in its work, it also ensures that non-Indigenous staff take on the heavy lifting of the ongoing work of reconciliation in education.’

The judges also highly commended Karuah Public School on the Mid North Coast of NSW for its work.

‘Karuah Public School situated itself on the front line of truth-telling about its past exclusion of Aboriginal students.

‘Their five-year journey of reconciliation has involved consistent dialogue, vulnerability, and respect which has transformed a once-divided community into a more connected and hopeful one,’ Sharon Davis said.

Early Learning category winner: Evans Head-Woodburn Preschool, Bandjalang Country, Northern NSW

The judging panel said Evans Head-Woodburn Preschool demonstrated an exceptional, long-standing commitment to reconciliation.

“Guided by Bandjalang Elders and Traditional Owners, the team works hand in hand with families to make learning a space of respect, truth-telling and belonging.

‘Their service is more than inclusive, it is led by and with the local community, making reconciliation central to their identity and practice.’

Reconciliation Australia CEO Karen Mundine congratulated the winners and finalists in this year’s awards and said she was uplifted by the outstanding reconciliation work in schools and early learning services across the country.

‘This year we saw stories of reconciliation in action in schools and early learning services − reconciliation that is not symbolic or seasonal but systemic and embedded into governance, the curriculum, staffing, culture and community relationships.

‘Stories of exceptional educators, engaged families, and of dedicated Elders and First Nations community members who have developed relationships with schools and early learning services so that children may learn from them and be richer for it.’

Reconciliation Australia also acknowledges the hard work and commitment of the other finalists in both categories: Bannister Creek Primary School, Perth, Goodstart Shailer Park, Logan City Qld, and Tillys Play and Development Centre − Rutherford, Maitland, NSW.

The full playlist of all six finalists’ films, captured by Indigenous production company Wirrim Media, can be viewed here.

The awards were presented on Thursday 6 November at a ceremony at the Museum of Australian Democracy, Canberra.

The evening ceremony followed a day-long national forum which brought together First Nations and non-First Nations educational leaders and professionals to critically examine current reconciliation efforts within the Australian education sector.

The Narragunnawali Awards have been held every two years since 2017. Reconciliation Australia thanks Telstra and Teachers Health Group whose generous support has made the 2025 awards possible, and the BHP Foundation for their longstanding support for the Narragunnawali program.

Narragunnawali is a Reconciliation Australia program which provides tools and resources for schools and early learning services to take action towards reconciliation between First Nations peoples and other Australians.

There are more than 14,000 Australian schools and early learning services engaged with Narragunnawali.

Narragunnawali (pronounced narra-gunna-wally) is a word from the language of the Ngunnawal people meaning alive, wellbeing, coming together and peace, and is used with permission of the United Ngunnawal Elders Council.

Narragunnawali Awards 2025 finalists announced

The finalist schools and early learning services have been recognised for implementing outstanding reconciliation initiatives that work to advance reconciliation in education.

Six Australian schools and early learning services that are implementing outstanding reconciliation initiatives have been selected as finalists for the Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Education Awards 2025.

The award finalists in the two categories are:

Schools

Bannister Creek Primary School, WA

Briar Road Public School, NSW

Karuah Public School, NSW

Early Learning

Evans Head – Woodburn Preschool, NSW

Goodstart Shailer Park, QLD

Tillys Play and Development Centre – Rutherford, NSW

The finalists were selected by a judging panel of eminent First Nations educationalists: Mx Sharon Davis, Professor Grace Sarra, and Professor Joe Sambono.

The judging panel acknowledged the finalists for their commitments to building strong and respectful relationships with local First Nations Elders and communities, developing a respectful understanding of First Nations’ cultures and histories, and engaging in truth-telling within their educational communities.

Chair of the judging panel and Reconciliation Australia Board Director, Sharon Davis, said education is a powerful tool for building a better society.

‘Narragunnawali gives educators a way in. It supports them to bring First Nations cultures, languages and histories into their classrooms and early learning services with care and respect. When educators approach the work with self-reflection and a willingness to learn, and when relationships with community are at the centre, schools and services start to feel safer and more welcoming for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families,’ said Davis.

‘Each year I judge these awards, I’m heartened by the growing groundswell of schools and early learning services that are walking the talk – not just knowing better but doing better.

‘There is a deep hunger for justice in our communities, and when it comes to education, we cannot carry that work alone. Most educators in Australia are non-Indigenous, and that makes their role in reconciliation essential. Narragunnawali helps educators embed reconciliation into everyday practice, and take up that responsibility with care, commitment and courage,’ they said.

Davis said the Narragunnawali Awards are an important showcase of the schools and early learning services doing the work of reconciliation and the positive outcomes and benefits that accrue to their communities.

Learn from First Nations Voices in Education

Faiza Ways — Mon, 12 May 2025 06:30:23 +0000

First Nations and non-Indigenous educators and education activists have long worked to impact policy and curriculum to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and perspectives in Australian classrooms.

Educators are always looking for appropriate resources that truly reflect the wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples produced by − or in collaboration with − First Nations peoples.

Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Education program provides resources for teachers and educators to take action towards reconciliation between non-Indigenous and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to help build understanding on how to respectfully include First Nations perspectives in learning environments.

First Nations Voices in Education is the latest professional learning resource produced by Narragunnawali in collaboration with Gilimbaa Creative Agency.

Much more than a collection of ideas, it is a set of films accompanied by an extensive guide shaped by the hard work and actions of five committed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education champions who understand the power of truth-telling and cultural integrity in education.

The five champions − Aunty Denise Proud, Professor Peter Buckskin, Dr Kaye Price, Aunty Geraldine Atkinson and Ned David − have fought for change in the Australian education system over many decades, leading to some of the policy and curriculum reforms that all learners benefit from today.

The content in First Nations Voices in Education equips teachers and educators with the knowledge and understanding to appropriately include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into their work with confidence and respect, creating classrooms where all children and students can learn from the oldest living cultures in the world.

Mapped against Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, this professional learning resource is designed for facilitated as well as self-guided and self-paced use, whether individually, in small groups, or during all-staff professional development opportunities.

Education advocate and contributor to the First Nations Voices in Education project Dr Kaye Price said, ‘If you don’t embed those cross-curriculum perspectives into your teaching, then you are really doing the country as a whole a disservice. It’s just paramount that people who live in this country know about the country.’

All of the films and resources can be accessed via the Narragunnawali platform narragunnawali.org.au

You don’t need to be a teacher or educator to watch the films but you will need a free account to access these and all the comprehensive education resources on the Narragunnawali platform.

Narragunnawali Awards 2025 applications open now

Ben Taylor — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 23:44:14 +0000

Reconciliation Australia is proud to launch the fifth Narragunnawali Awards recognising outstanding commitment to reconciliation in education.

The awards, held every two years since 2017, are Australia’s first and only national awards to recognise and celebrate schools and early learning services that are demonstrating dedication and commitment to implementing reconciliation initiatives.

Reconciliation Australia CEO, Karen Mundine said schools and early learning services are at the forefront of reconciliation.

‘Our Narragunnawali partner schools and early learning services are working hard to ensure First Nations languages, histories, and cultures are included in general learning thereby creating learning environments which both uplift the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and give a more well-rounded education for all children,’ she said.

‘The 2023 winners, Perth’s Winterfold Primary School and Adelaide’s Stirling District Kindergarten demonstrated the tangible ways schools and early learning services are strengthening relationships, building respect, and providing meaningful opportunities in the classroom, around the school or service, and with the community.

‘These are just two examples of how teachers and their school communities are achieving great results with little resources except a determination to create better learning environments for their students,’ Mundine said.

Chair of the Narragunnawali judging panel, Reconciliation Australia Director and educationalist, Mx Sharon Davis said the 2023 winners were prime examples of the changes occurring in the Australian educational sector.

‘Across the country, schools and early learning centres are fostering strong relationships with local First Nations communities and committing to creating learning environments where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children feel proud, respected, and reflected,’ Davis said.

‘We are seeing more and more schools take a firm stand against racism, ensuring that First Nations children are safe and valued in educational spaces. This kind of commitment leads to increased attendance and engagement for First Nations students and ensures all learners benefit from a more truthful and inclusive education.

‘These education partners are vital to advancing education justice — where First Nations perspectives are embedded in everyday learning, and all students gain a richer understanding of the world around them.’

Nominations and applications for the Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Education Awards 2025 are now open.  Applications close Friday 2 May 2025.

Awards categories

Schools: including primary, secondary, senior secondary and combined schools within the Government, Independent or Catholic sectors.

Reconciliation and Education Forum Report

Ben Taylor — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 00:59:54 +0000

A report released today provides a comprehensive blueprint for advancing reconciliation in education.

The Reconciliation and Education: Past-Present-Future Forum Summary Report, highlights the key challenges, opportunities, and recommendations for embedding reconciliation in the education sector.

The forum, held in November 2023, brought together key education leaders and stakeholders from every state and territory in the teaching of First Nations histories and cultures.

Co-hosted by Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Education program and the University of Melbourne’s Ngarrngga program, the forum explored the past, present and futures of education, and considered the challenges and successes that demand attention as the sector collaborates to drive a stronger future of reconciliation both in and through education.

Forum facilitator and inaugural CEO of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Corporation, Mx Sharon Davis, said the forum showed the vital role of education in supporting reconciliation in schools after the Voice Referendum.

“Coming so soon after the referendum, there was a strong sense of determination and purpose among participants that reconciliation in education is as important as ever,” they said.

The report highlights four recommendations:

Build on past work: to understand deeply and critically – and to actively acknowledge – the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and the people and organisations who have contributed to this history-making.
Strengthen education policy and implementation: actively focus on the importance of revisiting, strengthening, and re-committing to education policy that can further reconciliation, with First Nations voices and perspectives at the core of policy and decision-making processes.
Coordinate the sector: work to develop a coordinated and collaborative sector approach toward shaping and actively committing to shared goals, including mapping and modelling how the system can advocate for positive change in Indigenous education and towards reconciliation.
Resource reconciliation: ensure additional targeted financial and non-financial resources – and corresponding policies and commitments of governments – are provided to support teachers and school communities to implement the aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in their work and practice.

Mx Davis said the forum showed the vital role of education in supporting reconciliation in schools and pointed to the popularity of Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali program and the University of Melbourne’s Ngarrngga program as proof of the education sector’s overwhelming support for the report’s conclusions and recommendations.

Ngarrngga Director, Professor Melitta Hogarth, echoed the important role education plays in achieving reconciliation.

“Education plays a key role in shaping future Australian citizens. It is essential that we act on the recommendations of this report, including ensuring appropriate resources and training for educators via programs such as Ngarrngga and Narragunnawali.

“This activity will promote reconciliation and improve relationships between the diverse cultural groups within Australian society.”

Both Narragunnawali and Ngarrngga stress the need for the entire education sector to take a collaborative, relational, and coordinated approach to addressing these recommendations to enhance a stronger future for reconciliation and truth-telling both in and through education.

Kaya and Ciao from Winterfold School

Ben Taylor — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 07:30:57 +0000

The cross-cultural learning and excellence of Winterfold School in Fremantle, Western Australia has been celebrated for how its engagement and teaching of Noongar language has led to a unique relationship with its local Italian community.

Western Australia has a well-documented record of violence against First Nations peoples, but many West Australians are finding genuine and thoughtful ways to overcome this legacy by ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are an indivisible part of its diverse community.

A small school near Fremantle has been recognised for its commitment to anti-racism, teaching Noongar language and culture and building links between the local Italian and Noongar communities it serves.

Winterfold Primary School won the schools category in the 2023 Narragunnawali Awards. The award recognises and celebrates Australian schools and early learning services that are implementing outstanding reconciliation initiatives.

Chair of the awards judging panel and Reconciliation Australia Board Director, Shaz Davis, said the school inspired the judges with its strong connections to its local Noongar community and a vigilant policy of anti-racism.

‘Winterfold’s Principal told the judges that reconciliation and anti-racism was at the core of the school’s culture and curriculum, and this was obvious to us all when we visited the school,’ they said.

‘The use of Noongar language and the school’s clearly warm and supportive relationship with Noongar Elders, parents and kids was wonderful to witness.’

Pride in Culture

Winterfold’s reconciliation journey really began in earnest in 2019 when a Reconciliation Committee composed of teachers, education assistants and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents developed its first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) using Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali platform.

The RAP centred on the cross-curriculum teaching of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures.

School Principal, Kim Calabrese, said a commitment to truth-telling and open and honest conversations about injustices, which have occurred since colonisation, is pivotal to the school’s vision.

‘One of the first steps of the school’s reconciliation journey was to learn more about the Aboriginal Country on which the school stands, Beeliar Wadjak (Whadjuk) Noongar boodja (country) and its history,’ she told Reconciliation News.

‘Noongar language has become a prominent part of the learning environment, with signage across the school and sharing Noongar words in the parent newsletter, assemblies and in classrooms to support teaching and learning programs.

‘Students tell us that their families also want to learn the Noongar language and students are going home teaching their parents new words each fortnight.’

Kim Calabrese reports that First Nations student attendance at Winterfold outperforms other schools and student feedback from annual surveys reflects a sense of belonging and inclusion.

‘Our students are proud of their cultures, and this is evident in their willingness to share knowledge with other peers and teachers.’

Italian and Noongar – an affinity through language

Noongar is not the only language centred at Winterfold. Italian is taught as part of the Western Australian Curriculum.

With high numbers of Italian immigrants arriving in Perth and Fremantle from post-war Europe in the 1950s, Italian culture is also of great significance to the heritage of the area. Noongar language is shared with the school community alongside the teaching of Italian in the classroom.

Kathleen Turtur, a woman of Noongar and Italian heritage and parent of former student, Rueben Hayden-Nelson, said the mix of Italian and Noongar languages has worked to build better understandings between the two communities.

‘Noongar and Italian cultures are similar in many ways,’ she explains. ‘They are both extremely family-orientated and in both Noongar and Italian families, Elders are deeply respected

‘When my Nonna came to Australia from Sicily, she was told not to speak her own language and that she should adapt to the Australian culture in order to be accepted. I wish she had been able to hold onto her true identity and pass on her language to us.

‘The same was true for the Noongar side of my family. They were punished for speaking their traditional language. I didn’t have the opportunity to learn either of my heritage languages when I was at school, so I’m really glad my son was able to learn both at Winterfold.’

She agrees with Kim Calabrese that the school’s focus on Noongar language and culture has improved outcomes for First Nations and other children.

‘Now that culture and language are celebrated, there is pride in our kids. Culture is a big part of our identity and when our kids are free to express this they go in amazing directions.

‘Our kids are strong in their culture and this helps them daily.

‘Reuben was a quiet kid but when he was introduced to culture, dance and language he came out of his shell; his confidence grew so much he was able to stand up in front of the whole school and do an Acknowledgement of Country. We never thought he could do something like that,’ said Kathleen. ‘And now he’s even started teaching me new words in Noongar!’

According to Principal Calabrese the Winterfold community embodies a sense of family. ‘Everyone looks out for each other and genuinely cares about the success of all students which makes our school a truly exceptional and welcoming community to be a part of.’

And it seems the Winterfold family’s vision is making a tangible difference to its Aboriginal students.

‘Before Noongar culture and language was elevated to Winterfold there were kids getting into trouble and heading down the wrong road, said Kathleen Turtur. ‘But ever since the culture has been celebrated in the school, the kids are really feeling a part of the school because they are surrounded by culture. You’ll see kids really elevated and hold pride in what they do when their culture is respected, they feel safe.’

Narragunnawali Reconciliation in Education Awards Winners

Liz Willis — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 01:11:06 +0000

The Narragunnawali Awards celebrate educators and community members doing the hard work, learning and unlearning, and creating lasting relationships.

Reconciliation Australia is proud to announce the winners of the fourth Narragunnawali Awards; the national awards that recognise and celebrate Australian schools and early learning services that are implementing outstanding reconciliation initiatives.

Schools category winner: Winterfold Primary School, on Noongar Country, Beaconsfield, Western Australia.

Chair of the awards judging panel and Reconciliation Australia Board Director, Sharon Davis said the school inspired the judges with its strong connections to its local Noongar community and a vigilant policy of anti-racism.

“Winterfold’s principal told the judges that reconciliation and anti-racism was at the core of the school’s culture and curriculum, and this was obvious to us all when we visited the school,” they said

“The use of Noongar language and the school’s clearly warm and supportive relationship with Noongar Elders, parents and kids was wonderful to witness.”

Early Learning category winner: Stirling District Kindergarten on Kaurna Country, Stirling, South Australia.

Sharon Davis said the staff at Stirling were passionate about reconciliation and respectful to members of the local Kaurna communities.

“The use of the local Kaurna language and Stirling’s engagement with Kaurna Elder, Uncle Tamaru – who teaches the children Kaurna language, and knowledge about ceremony, culture, plants, and animals – is a great credit to the service and the families it serves,” they said.

“Over the history of the awards and in my time working with the Narragunnawali program, I have witnessed incredible stories of schools and early learning services putting relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, cultures and communities at the heart of their institutions.

“Like so much else, often teachers and educators have achieved this with little in the way of resources and time.”

Reconciliation Australia CEO Karen Mundine said she was heartened by the outstanding reconciliation work going on in schools and early learning services across the country.

“After the disappointment of the referendum result it is wonderful to witness the profound contribution that these places are making towards a more just and reconciled Australia,” she said.

“There is still so much work to be done to enable a greater understanding of our history and the legacy of colonialism which still haunts so many First Nations people.

“I can see these changes happening in our education system. Young Australians are opening their hearts and gaining the skills to effectively contribute to reconciliation.

“This is why events like the Narragunnawali Awards are so important. It is about celebrating educators and community members out there, doing the hard work, learning and unlearning, and creating lasting relationships.”

Reconciliation Australia also congratulates the other finalists in both categories:

Kwoorabup Nature School – Noongar Country, Denmark, WA
Kellyville Public School – Darug Country, Kellyville, NSW
Wyong Preschool Kindergarten – Darkinjung Country, Wyong, NSW
Little Beacons Learning Centre – Wurundjeri and Bunurong-Boon Wurrung Country in Pakenham, Victoria

The awards were presented on Friday 24 November at a ceremony at the National Museum of Australia. The evening ceremony followed a forum investigating the past, present and future of reconciliation in education.
