The college acknowledged and celebrated National Reconciliation Week (NRW) at a special school assembly.

Reflection by Isikeli Kubunameca, Assistant Principal Identity & Global Advocacy

NRW is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

The dates for NRW remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey – the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo Decision respectively.

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We paid tribute to NRW at this week’s College assembly with prayer and a discussion panel with staff, family and students.
