ATSI Observances
National Reconciliation Week (27 May - 3 June) represents an opportunity for all Australians to learn about this country’s shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and other Australians can be strengthened, in order to build momentum for national reconciliation. (NSDC school resource)

We are looking at five key questions over the next three weeks in devotions and equip classes. They are part of the Australians Together framework from Christian schools.
https://australianstogether.org.au/education/
- The wound - Why are many indigenous Australians experiencing disadvantage and injustice?
- Our History - How does our history continue to affect us today?
- Why Me? - What does this have to do with me?
- Our Cultures - Why are culture and identity important?
- My response - How can I respond respectfully and meaningfully?
A stand against racism in any form is a key goal for our students and also the belief that our nation is stronger when we stand together and respect each other
If you have questions about Observance days or ATSI events, please email Mrs Nicole van Wyk: nvanwyk@gpcc.nsw.edu.au .
