Prayer for National Apology Day - Monday 13 February 2023

On Monday 13 February 2023, Australia commemorates the 15th anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations which was presented to Parliament by the then Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd in 2008. National Apology Day is a day to remember and pray for the children who were taken away from their families and homes and commit to right the wrongs of past injustices and build a bridge of respect between all people.

As a system of schools, we are committed to walking together with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sisters and brothers in a spirit of reconciliation and recognition. Ways of expressing this commitment is to acknowledge this apology in our school community with prayer at our Monday morning assembly.
