Always Learning - National Sorry Day & Reconciliation Week
Support National Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week with
Discovering History, Sharing Our Stories and First Australians
21 May 2012
We have two key events in the Australian Calendar coming up,
with National Sorry Day this Saturday, 26 May 2012; followed by
National Reconciliation Week from Sunday, 27th May - Sunday, 3rd
June.
These events are annual reminders to reflect on the treatment of
the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our country's
past, and to remind all Australians to continue to help create an
environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are
treated fairly as a part of our community.
National Sorry Day is a time for all Australians remember the
Stolen Generations. Pearson have several titles which you could use
to raise student awareness support National Sorry Day, such as
Our Special Days - April to June, a title from the Discovering
History series. A sample page is shown below.
National Reconciliation Week is a great opportunity to teach the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures as an
Australian Curriculum cross-curriculum priority. We have two
fantastic series we would like to highlight, Sharing Our
Stories and First Australians.
What have you got planned for National Sorry Day
and National Reconciliation Week? Share your plans with the
Pearson Primary Community on our Pearson
