We are excited to announce nominations for the Narragunnawali Awards 2021 are now open!

Looking back on a challenging year, there has been a lot to both reflect on and celebrate—but what has stood out is the strength, courage and leadership that you, our Narragunnawali community have demonstrated.

We are now asking parents, carers, staff, students, and community members to nominate a school or early learning service that they believe is demonstrating exceptional commitment to reconciliation in education.

The Awards

The Narragunnawali Awards are the first national awards program in Australia to recognise and celebrate educational environments implementing outstanding reconciliation initiatives—across the Government, Catholic and Independent sectors.

Finalist schools and early learning services are acknowledged for the ways in which they strengthen relationships, build respect, and provide meaningful opportunities in the classroom, around the school or early learning service, and with the community.
