​​National Sorry Day is a special day that occurs in Australia on 26th May every year. It is a day of remembrance to highlight the impact of past policies of forcible removal on the Stolen Generations, their families, and their communities.

National Sorry Day is of particular significance to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia.

The day is an opportunity for all Australians to remember past mistakes and build stronger bridges for a richer, stronger future together.

National Reconciliation Week is from 27 May – 3 June and the theme for 2021, is More than a word. Reconciliation takes action, urges the reconciliation movement towards braver and more impactful action.

Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians – as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation. At the heart of this journey are relationships between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures.

2021 marks twenty years of Reconciliation Australia and almost three decades of Australia's formal reconciliation process.

 

Coorparoo State School will be holding a National Sorry Day Acknowledgement and Ceremony​ on 26 May 2021in the MacCahon Hall at 2pm. All are welcome to attend.
