The 27th of May till the 3rd of June is Reconciliation Week the 2026 theme is "All In". This theme highlights that reconciliation is everyone's responsibility and encourages all of us to make meaningful, everyday commitments toward reconciliation. 

In Year 4 we have shown our commitment to Reconciliation through our creation of ‘All in’ Chains and Mosaic Tiles highlighting the ways in which we can stand up for fairness and kindness.
