National Reconciliation Week

We are brave, and making change.

This week, our students took the time to recognise and reflect on the ongoing process of reconciliation as part of National Reconciliation Week.

It’s inspiring to see our children embrace the power of empathy and action on both personal and collective levels.

As part of this year’s theme ‘Be Brave. Make Change.’,. students took part in hanging a large banner on our fence line, with our Year 2-6 classes places black, yellow and red ribbons on the fence posts to express their commitment to make change.

Our Foundation and Year 1 students created special cut-out ribbons, which were staked into the ground as part of the display. What a great job they did!

We’d love all families to continue the conversations about the actions that need to happen to improve our country for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. More information and ideas can be found at: https://nrw.reconciliation.org.au/2022-actions-to-make-change/

Leaf & Gumnut Painting

In recognition of Reconciliation Week, our students took part in Leaf and Gumnut painting and created a 'Hand Garden' as part of our Nature Play program. It's amazing to see the creativity of our children as they explore new and natural forms of art, and play with nature in a way many of them had not done before. 

Allowing our students to learn, play and explore some of the colour used widely in Aboriginal art was also a real blessing during Reconciliation Week. What an opportunity to play, learn and reflect together. 

How can you use nature to play, learn and reflect on the values that are important to your family this coming week?
