G8 Education launched its Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan in February 2024, which features artwork created by award-winning Indigenous artist Elaine Chambers\u2011Hegarty.<\/p>\n

G8 Education\u2019s vision for reconciliation is an Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and knowledge are valued and our true, shared history is known and sincerely acknowledged.<\/p>\n

We strive to walk together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples towards reconciliation; actively listening, learning and collaborating with our communities to build genuine unity.<\/p>\n

As educators of Australia\u2019s children of today and tomorrow, we believe we have a responsibility to educate our next generations on our true shared history and build an understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and perspectives through authentic community relationships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

About the artwork<\/h2>\n

Artist Elaine described the artwork as:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe central piece or the \u2018heart\u2019 of the G8 Education artwork represents children. The two small U-shape motifs symbolise children, as they are the main focus of everything G8 Education does. The dots around the children represent learning and growth – as the children interact with each other and the environment around them. The U-shapes in the broader ring represent people – these are the G8 educators, parents, families and community that surround and support the child in their development.<\/p>\n

The rainbow colour palette of the people in this circle was selected to represent the 21 brands that sit within G8 across Australia. The rainbow also represents the diversity, uniqueness and the colourful characteristics of each centre.<\/p>\n

The patterning behind this circle of people represents the core values of G8 Education – passion, innovation, dedication, compassion and integrity – as these guide every interaction between G8 educators and children, families and the broader community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
