National Sorry Day ~ 26 May & Reconciliation Week ~ 27 May - 3 June

Each year our country celebrates National Reconciliation Week from 27 May to 3 June. It is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.  The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2023 is ‘Be a Voice for Generations’.  It aims to encourage all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives – where we live, work and socialise.
Reconciliation Week follows National Sorry Day which is celebrated on the 26 May.  National Sorry Day is a day to pause and remember the Stolen Generations of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples. 
We will highlight National Sorry Day during morning prayer on 26 May and Reconciliation Week before assembly on 2 June.
