Guudi Yiigu,

Yesterday marked the end of the 20th Anniversary of Reconciliation Week in Australia. All the students of St Agnes’ Primary have spent the week reflecting and learning about the significance and history of this week to our First Nations Peoples.

Our Reconciliation Week began with a beautiful Sorry Day Prayer hosted by our wonderful CAPA Team, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island flags were flown and classes were busy creating beautiful window displays to compliment their learning of this important week.

As a whole school activity, the students created a garden of beautifully decorated feet to signify “Steps towards Reconciliation”.

This learning has been a wonderful opportunity for our students to gain a greater understanding of our history as we next will celebrate our unique Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island cultures during NAIDOC Week, held early in Term 3.

Marumbu,

Sharon Hugo
