RECONCILIATION WEEK Be Brave. Make a Change.
22
It’s an inspiring mantra for this year’s Reconciliation Week which occurred from May 27 – June 3. The 2022 theme is a challenge for all Australians to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians. It is extremely inspiring to see that our Senior School Reconciliation Committee has over 40 students. Including both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, the committee aims to provide some education and understanding about Australian Indigenous matters, as well as create an authentic and inclusive community for all. When the committee first formed under newly appointed Indigenous Liaison Coordinator, Karrene McLernon, one of their first tasks was to review St Hilda’s Acknowledgement to Country. It was reworked by the committee to reflect St Hilda’s core values: Imagination, Authenticity, Belonging and Excellence.
