National Reconciliation Week 27 May- 3 June 2014
National Reconciliation Week celebrates and builds on the respectful relationships shared by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. The week-long celebration is a great opportunity for all Australians to explore ways to join the national reconciliation effort. At Fairfield West Public School, we did this by each class designing and making a poster to share and represent their understanding of what reconciliation means. This also involved some excellent discussions and sharing of ideas within the classroom. These posters were then displayed around the school through the week and some classrooms were decorated in black, yellow and red colours using streamers and balloons. It was a very significant week. Below are just a few of the wonderful posters.
