Students at Gorokan Public School commemorated National Reconciliation Week with an online assembly.
Under current restrictions, schools are still unable to hold whole school assemblies, so staff at Gorokan PS arranged the online assembly so that students could still observe and be educated on the importance of Sorry Day and National Reconciliation Week to First Nations People and wider Australia.
The Assembly was led by Principal, Jesmond Zammit, student leaders and Indigenous students, and was livestreamed into each classroom.
Principal Zammit said the theme of this year’s National Reconciliation Week, ‘In this together’, could not be more fitting, given the challenges 2020 has delivered so far.
“We held the online assembly to learn how we can all strengthen relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians,” Zammit said.
