Reconciliation Week at Preston - head down for a roo burger, a yarn with the Yurrongi Centre team and a chat about what reconciliation means to you.
The 2026 National Reconciliation Week's theme is 'All In'.
It is a time to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements and to consider how each of us can contribute to reconciliation in Australia. Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.
Former student Brett Lee (Pirritu) is a Ngiyampaa man and First Nations singer-songwriter. He reminds us to walk together on this journey and to nurture the connections we make today. The friendships you build now could become powerful supports in the years ahead.
Be all in. Join us on campus at the Reconciliation Week events, meet the Yurrongi Centre crew for a yarn and make meaningful connections with your fellow students as we take steps together for Reconciliation.

Today we commemorate National Sorry Day, honouring the strength and truth of Stolen Generations survivors and their families.
Saying sorry matters, but sorry without action is not enough. We must act now to deliver justice and address the ongoing impacts of removal and trauma.
From tomorrow, National Reconciliation Week begins with the theme All In, a call for all of us to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.
🖤💛❤️
