Bringing RAP Artwork to life

The Acacia Ridge campus tiling team have begun a project which brings elements of TAFE Queensland's Reconciliation Action Plan Artwork 'Connecting Knowledge - Connecting Cultures' to life in a stunning mosaic, with staff, students, and partners to contribute to the project over the year.

Begun in NAIDOC Week and contributed to in its first weeks by TAFE Queensland Board Chair Viv Grayson, Board Member Professor Jody Currie, Chief Executive Officer John Tucker, Brisbane Broncos players, students, and members of TAFE Queensland's RAP Committee following the Stretch RAP launch, this project will serve as an example piece for students for years to come and will contribute greatly to the campus.

Business Manager Support Officer for Finishing Trades at Acacia Ridge, proud Waka Waka woman Kerrie Ramsay, and tiling teacher Grant Job began the project to represent TAFE Queensland's commitment to reconciliation in a way that resonated with and involved students and staff.

"As an Indigenous person, and with Grant’s children also being Indigenous, this project holds deep significance for us," Ms Ramsay said.

"I’m incredibly proud to be part of something so meaningful and symbolic."

"To share this project already with members of the TAFE Queensland Board, the RAP Committee, and the Brisbane Broncos alongside our students and staff has been amazing," she said.
