Reconciliation Week 2019: Grounded in Truth, Walk Together with Courage

National Reconciliation Week was initiated in 1996 to provide a special focus for nationwide activities.

National Reconciliation Week offers people across Australia the opportunity to focus on reconciliation, to hear about the cultures and histories of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to explore new and better ways of meeting challenges in our communities.

The Week is timed to coincide with two important dates in Australia’s history, 27 May and 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.

As a school we will be celebrating and commemorating Reconciliation week with a range of activities held on Tuesday 28th May, in both the Junior and Senior blocks of the school. These activities will explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture through religion, art, sport and technology.
