🌿 National Reconciliation Week 2025
This week, we proudly celebrate National Reconciliation Week with the theme “Bridging Now to Next”—a call to move forward together, guided by the lessons of the past.
The powerful #NRW2025 artwork by Kalkadoon artist Bree Buttenshaw features native plants that regenerate after fire, symbolising resilience and renewal.
At Follow the Dream (FTD), students embraced this spirit by inviting friends to join the first of our reconciliation activities. They decorated cookies with Indigenous symbols, explored bush tucker plants in our new cultural area, and shared reflections on what reconciliation means to them.
Together, we’re building respect, understanding, and unity.
