Reconciliation Week - Walking On Country

As part of Reconciliation Week, Children’s House has once again taken part in a Reconciliation Walking on Country, continuing a special tradition from last year.

Through the eyes of a young child, the walk is a chance to come together, listen, learn, and show respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As we walk side by side, we celebrate the rich cultures, stories, histories, and enduring connection to Country that have been shared for tens of thousands of years.

Reconciliation Week helps children begin to understand that everyone has a story and that learning about our shared history can help us build kindness, respect, and stronger relationships with one another. It is a time to ask questions and explore how even small actions can help create a more inclusive and connected community.

This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, ‘All In,’ reminds us that reconciliation is something we can all be part of every day. For our children, being “All In” might look like listening carefully to stories, showing respect for different cultures, caring for Country, and walking together as friends.

Through these experiences, they learn that every step, no matter how small, can help build a brighter future for everyone.
