This morning, the Ingleburn High School community came together in a spirit of reflection, respect, and reconciliation to acknowledge National Sorry Day—a day of great importance in our country’s history.
Sorry Day is a time to pause and reflect on the profound grief, trauma, and loss experienced by the Stolen Generations, their families, and communities. It is also a time to reaffirm our commitment to truth-telling, healing, and building a more just and inclusive future for all Australians.
Our morning gathering was both moving and meaningful. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our talented Aboriginal Dance Group for their powerful performance that honoured culture and story through dance.
We were deeply honoured to have Uncle Eddie and Uncle Charlie share their wisdom and stories with us, reminding us of the strength, resilience, and spirit of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Their presence added immense depth to our understanding of the significance of this day.
We would also like to thank our feeder primary schools, Ingleburn Public School and Sackville Street Public School, for joining us and standing in solidarity. It was heartening to see our wider school community come together in unity and shared purpose.
Ingleburn High School was privileged to welcome Ms Kay Rigas, Executive Director Met South and South West and Mrs Karen Endicott, Director, Educational Leadership, St Andrews Network. Their support and participation underscore the importance of educational leadership in the journey toward reconciliation.
Today was a reminder that we all have a role to play in healing and in shaping a future that acknowledges the truth of our past while walking forward with respect and unity.
