National Reconciliation Week

When: 27 May - 3 June

This year’s theme, “All In”, reminds us that reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility. We each contribute by listening, learning, being respectful and through our actions.

Our students are engaging in age-appropriate discussions and research and a special segment will be included at Assembly on Monday 1 June.

At PMPS, we respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and pay respect to the ongoing living cultures of First Peoples.
