Last week was National Reconciliation Week. The theme for 2023 is 'Be a Voice for Generations', which encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives – where we live, work and socialise.

Reconciliation Australia focuses on the shaping of Australia’s journey towards a more just, equitable and reconciled nation. In 2001, 300,000 people came together to walk on bridges and roads across the nation and show their support for a more reconciled Australia.

Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians – as individuals, families, communities, organisations and as a nation. At the heart of this journey are relationships between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Students and staff participated in a number of activities throughout the week, as we reflected on the history of the Stolen Generations and recognised the resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
