Always was, Always will be

Reconciliation Week 2026

Next week marks National Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June). 

This year’s theme, “All In”, is a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every day.

At our school, reconciliation is more than a day, a week or a moment. It is ongoing learning and action that continues throughout every classroom and across our whole school community. From Units of Inquiry and Woiwurrung language learning to student action teams, storytelling, art and connection to Country, we are proud to continue walking this journey together.

Watch this space for some of the wonderful ways our school community will be celebrating and reflecting during Reconciliation Week.
