NATIONAL  RECONCILIATION WEEK

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) started as the Week of Prayer for Reconciliation in 1993 (the International Year of the World’s Indigenous People) and was supported by Australia’s major faith communities. In 1996, the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation launched Australia’s first ‘National Reconciliation Week’. In 2000, Reconciliation Australia was established to continue to provide national leadership on reconciliation. In the same year, approximately 300,000 people walked across Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of NRW, showing support for the reconciliation process.

Today NRW is celebrated by communities, businesses and individuals at thousands of events across Australia. 

As part of Guyra Central Schools Reconciliation Week celebration's we are holding a morning tea for family and community members in our  Staff Common Room on Friday 1st May, 2018 at 10.40am.  Please RSVP to our Main Office if you would like to attend  on 67790844.
