St Mary’s Primary School in Mooroopna was awash with a sea of red, black and yellow.
On Friday, May 31, students wore the colours of the Aboriginal Flag to celebrate National Reconciliation Week.
Every year, National Reconciliation Week is held between May 27 and June 3 to celebrate Indigenous history and culture in Australia and encourage discussions of reconciliation.
The theme for 2024 was Now More Than Ever.
Billy Cooper performed a smoking ceremony, which was then followed by students going on a reflection walk around the school to read and view what each class had reflected upon in relation to reconciliation.
The News’ Grace Carter went over to capture what the St Mary’s students learnt.
