National Reconciliation Week 

National Reconciliation Week at LNPS 2019

On Tuesday of Weeks 6 and 7 this term students at Lockleys North Primary school joined together to recognise National Reconciliation Week. Students worked in their R-7 learner wellbeing groups for the purpose of:

  • Discussing what does reconciliation mean and why is it important?
  • Sharing our truths
  • Working collaboratively to create a story based on the theme Everyone Belongs

Look out for our stories being shared at school assemblies. 

"I enjoyed writing the story and working with other people." Aiden F10

"It was great to have a go at the truth circle game again as I learnt about it when I went to the STEM Congress." Astwan F15

"It was interesting to work with the symbols and create a story." Trent F12

"We had interesting conversations about what reconciliation means and why it is important to Australians. I think it means caring about each other, not being discriminatory and including everyone no matter where they came from." Tristen F12

"I enjoyed sharing our truths." Sibella T17

"I liked making a story using the symbols." Declan T17
