National Reconciliation Week invites all Australians to reflect on our shared histories, cultures and futures, and on the role each of us plays in the journey of reconciliation.
This year’s theme, All In, reminds us that reconciliation is not passive. It calls on all of us to listen, learn, build relationships and take meaningful action.
At Burgmann, reconciliation is not confined to a single week. It is reflected in the relationships we continue to build with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, in the learning that takes place across our classrooms and in the way we seek to visibly demonstrate respect for First Nations histories and cultures throughout our School.
Featured here is Healing on Country, commissioned for Burgmann by Ngunnawal artist Richie Allan. Representing regeneration and healing, the artwork reflects the importance of connection to Country, to community and to one another. Centred around a shared meeting place, it speaks to the ongoing journey of reconciliation and our shared responsibility to care for each other and the world around us.
National Reconciliation Week provides an important opportunity for reflection and learning, while also reminding us that reconciliation is shaped through everyday actions, conversations and commitments across our community.
