National Reconciliation Week
National Reconciliation Week is celebrated each year from 27 May to 3 June. It follows National Sorry Day, which is marked each year on the 26 May. These events are an opportunity for us to recognise the traditional owners of this land, the struggles they have experienced and the unique place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture within this country.
On Tuesday of this week, the Carroll College community marked National Sorry Day by creating Sorry Hands. On their hand, each member of our community made a commitment towards reconciliation within our country. The hands were then ‘planted’ in the ground to connect us to country.





Today, approximately 50 students attended the National Sorry Day Batemans Bay Bridge Walk, where we joined with the community to show our commitment to working towards reconciliation and a united Australia.
