National Reconciliation Week

 

Last week we acknowledged and celebrated National Reconciliation Week. This year the theme was Be Brave. Make Change. 

 

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements and to explore how we can continue contributing to achieving reconciliation in Australia. 

 

At GSC we proudly acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the traditional custodians of the land we gather on and work from. We also proudly acknowledge all the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Island members of our school community. 

 

As part of National Reconciliation Week we conducted a flag raising ceremony facilitated by some of our Indigenous community.  We also discussed the importance of the week with our students in classes and watched this short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAgohZhTkjo&t=8s
