NSWTF: National Reconciliation Week 2016


For resources and information on National Reconciliation Week, view the resources pack from the NSW Reconciliation Council.
Federation has a proud history of campaigning for the rights of Indigenous people in Australia, and is currently campaigning for the Gonski school funding model, knowing that with equitable funding students from Indigenous communities will receive greater support to meet their needs through public education.


The NSW Aboriginal Education Committee recently expressed serious concerns over the impact that cutting needs based funding would have on Indigenous communities, writing: ‘Considering the Gonski funding only began in 2014 the NSW AECG Inc views the Turnbull government’s statements as both premature and illustrating little to no recognition of the educational outcomes that have already been achieved as a result of the RAM/Gonski funding’
