First Nations Flags

Our school flies or displays the First Nations flag as a demonstration of our pride and respect
for the histories, cultures and contributions of Australia’s First Peoples. Flying or displaying the
flags promotes a sense of community partnership and a commitment toward reconciliation.

Fly the First Nations flags on school campus.

flags can be flown.

group and celebrates our school or service’s commitment to reconciliation. We will use our
RAP launch event to inform the wider community about our RAP and the many different ways
people can get involved and take action toward reconciliation.

Action
Take Action Against Racism
Commitment
Racism can have serious negative consequences for the people who experience it, for those who
witness it, and for wider society. When racism is properly understood it is easier to overcome.
We commit to building awareness of what racism is, the impacts of racism, and how to respond
effectively when it occurs through an anti-racism strategy tailored to the needs of our school.
Goal
Commit to increasing professional development for all (staff and students) in their awareness
of diverse representations and experiences of racism. Consider developing and implementing
a formal anti-racism strategy at Lourdes Hill College.
Deliverable
• Formalise a system as part of the behaviour management process to guide students and staff
in cultural awareness.
• Create an addition to the student Code of Conduct in the school diary that relates to culturally
appropriate behaviours.
