National Reconciliation Week is held annually between 27 May to 3 June. It’s 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 National Reconciliation Week 2022 theme, Be Brave. Make Change. is a challenge to everyone to ‘Be Brave’ and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so society can ‘Make Change’ for the benefit of all Australians. For school leaders, it is a call to make reconciliation a priority in their learning communities, not just during NRW, but every week of the year.
Leading Reconciliation in your school
The education system, and school leaders in particular play a vital role in giving young Australians the skills and insight to make an informed contribution to the reconciliation process; and to encourage and support teachers and educators to engage in their own learning, ‘un-learning’ and ‘re-learning’ to build a better future together. In fact, Reconciliation Australia’s landmark 2021 State of Reconciliation in Australia Report consistently asserts education as a driving force in the reconciliation movement.
