Reconciliation Week

This year’s theme “Now More Than Ever” echoes the responsibility we hold as educators and as a community to incorporate truth telling and Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander perspectives into our everyday practice.

This week, as is the case throughout the year, we learn about Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander culture and history. We tell stories, share artwork and celebrate this rich tradition.

We also continued our Prep 2025 tours on Tuesday morning, and a highlight on Education Week at assembly.
