National Reconciliation Week (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. It is always celebrated between
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.
Throughout this week Immanuel students have been engaged in learning activities connected with Sorry Day. Activities have ranged from acknowledgement of country, art activities and Aboriginal sport games, as well as embedding ATSI perspectives in the curriculum. We are blessed being part of a wonderful community and are grateful for all input into taking part in NRW.
We are all in this together!
