This week from 27 May to 3 June is National Reconciliation Week - 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 2024 theme, Now More Than Ever, is a reminder to all of us that the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will —and must —continue.  

As a College, we recognise the importance of reconciliation in Australia and acknowledge the historical wrongs experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
