National Sorry Day

IMG_6824.jpg
Every year on 26 May, National Sorry Day remembers and acknowledges the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, which we now know as ‘The Stolen Generations’.
National Sorry Day is a day to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all play a part in the healing process for our people and nation. While this date carries great significance for the Stolen Generations and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, it is also commemorated by Australians right around the country.
Mr. Steve Robinson (Acting Assistant Principal - Religious Education, Identity and Mission), and Mr. Matthew Watson attended a moving 'Sorry Day' service alongside Jayden. M (Year 8), Caitlin Shepherd (Year 9) and Honey Poa (Year T12). The service was organised and supported by 'Aboriginal Catholic Ministry' and 'Winga Myamly Reconciliation Group.
