National Reconciliation Week

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is 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 students on the Del Monte campus shared some books from the library and worked with buddy classes to create a display incorporating our Dominican Pillars. The pillar of community is emphasised by our Catholic traditions and those of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians.

The pillar of service comes to life through community engagement and working together. The pillar of study revolves around Veritas, a Dominican motto meaning truth. The pillar of prayer is woven throughout all dimensions of school life, including gatherings like our National Reconciliation liturgy.
