ALL IN for Reconciliation- National Reconciliation Week 2026

27 May – 3 June
This week, we join communities across Australia in recognising National Reconciliation Week, a time to learn about our shared histories, honour the cultures and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and reflect on how each of us can contribute to reconciliation.

This year’s theme, All In, is a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every day, through listening, embracing truth telling, learning, respect and meaningful action. As we acknowledge 25 years of Reconciliation Australia, we recognise both the progress made and the important work still ahead.
Across our schools and communities, we invite our students, families and staff to be All In, to deepen understanding, celebrate culture, and continue walking together toward a more just and connected future.

How will your school or family be “All In” for reconciliation this week?

National Sorry Day
26 May

On 26 May, we acknowledge National Sorry Day, a day of reflection, respect and remembrance across our education communities.

National Sorry Day honours the strength and resilience of Stolen Generations Survivors and acknowledges the lasting impacts of policies that led to the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, communities and Country.

It is a day that calls us to truth-telling and understanding, recognising that reconciliation is an ongoing commitment, grounded in listening, learning and walking together with respect.

Across our education system, we pause to reflect, learn and engage in conversations that deepen understanding and strengthen our collective commitment to reconciliation.
We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present, and to the continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
