Cardinia Flag Raising Ceremony - National Reconciliation Week

On Friday 27th May, our student leaders took part in the community flag-raising ceremony which was held by Cardinia Council at their Civic Centre in Officer. This was to recognise the start of National Reconciliation Week (27th May to 3rd June), a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, culture and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
