  1. Reconciliation Week 27 May – 3 June

  2. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey - the anniversaries of the successful 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision.

  3. Let’s Talk Recognition We all know the importance of recognition and how good it makes us feel. This can help us focus on how Australians can better recognise each other, and recognise the contributions, cultures and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

  4. What is recognition? Everyone likes it when they get it. The Macquarie Dictionary ... “the acknowledgement of something as valid or entitled to consideration”. Think about how much you value recognition. When you are sincerely recognised for who you are and what you contribute, you feel proud, valued and connected. It helps bring out the best.

  5. Why is it important to recogniseAboriginal and Torres StraitIslander peoples? Since colonisation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have faced enormous challenges.

  6. Life expectancy gap is 17 Years - Past policies and laws have contributed to this. These inequalities have, in some cases, hindered Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from reaching their full potential.

  7. The process of recognition is part of creating reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians, which will lead to respect and help develop better relationships and partnerships

  8. Today you will be creating a symbol that represents one of the following: • Reconciliation of Australia • Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples • Closing the gap • Constitutional change (seniors!) • A new Australian Flag

  9. That symbol will be placed onto a poster OR made into a badge!
