This week, our school community paused to recognise National Sorry Day, a time for reflection, truth-telling and healing as we acknowledge the histories and ongoing impacts of the Stolen Generations. It is a meaningful opportunity for us to live out our Gospel call to justice, compassion and reconciliation—to love, to care and to give.
Our First Nations students had the special opportunity to visit Mary MacKillop College, where they listened to a powerful story by Archie Roach, deepening their understanding of culture, identity and history. Together, students created a Desert Rose—an important symbol of peace and healing—and worked collaboratively on a canvas alongside MMC students. This artwork reflects unity, respect and hope for the future, and will be proudly displayed at the Sorry Day community event at Kalinga Park on Friday 29 May.
We thank Mary MacKillop College for their partnership and for providing such a meaningful experience for our students. As a community, may we continue to listen, learn and walk together in the spirit of reconciliation.
