Reconciliation

Birali Steiner school have embarked on the journey to reconciliation. To help support us, we joined the Narragunnawali program from Reconciliation Australia and formed a Reconciliation Action Plan Team of staff and volunteers dedicated to continuing the Reconciliation work at Birali.  

Narragunnawali (pronounced narra-gunna-wally) is a word from the language of the Ngunnawal people, Traditional Owners of the land on which Reconciliation Australia’s Canberra office is located, meaning alive, wellbeing, coming together and peace. Our own name, “Birali” (pronounced Ber-ra-lee) was given to the school by an indigenous elder, meaning “Creative Spirit” which embodies our vision for the school as a space for children to learn and grow.
