NATIONAL SORRY DAY

National Sorry Day is a day to acknowledge the trauma experienced by survivors of the Stolen Generations and encourage healing within our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities.

It has been 25 years since the ‘Bringing them Home’ report was tabled in Federal Parliament in 1997. This report detailed the investigation into the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families and communities. For many, this was the first time these stories were told and acknowledged, the first in many steps towards healing and reconciliation.

On Wednesday the 24th May the leaders, staff and students gathered together to acknowledge our commitment towards reconciliation. Uncle Greg Simms Welcomed us to Country and Wyndham College Principal Caz Lasker gave a keynote address before those gathered created a sea of hands installation.
