πŸ–€πŸ’›β€οΈ National Reconciliation Week at BPIHS – Bridging Now to Next β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ–€

Week 5 was a jam-packed and meaningful week at Banksia Park International High School as we celebrated National Reconciliation Week.
We kicked off the week with some of our First Nations learners attending the annual Nunga Tag Tournament at Avenues College πŸ‰. This event is always a highlight on our calendar, offering a great opportunity for connection, teamwork, and pride in culture.
On Tuesday, we held a whole school assembly to mark National Reconciliation Week. We were honoured to host special guest Anthony Wilson from Kuma Kaaru, who shared powerful stories about his Kaurna culture. Staff and students were especially fascinated to learn about the Kaurna kinship structure and its deep cultural significance.
In partnership with St Agnes School, a group of our learners also visited the Reconciliation River Walk at Karra Wirra Parri / River Torrens in Athelstone 🌿. This was a beautiful and reflective experience, made even more special by the flowing waterways after recent rain. Students explored Kaurna Country and gained a deeper understanding of local culture through interactive installations developed with Kaurna Elders.
On Thursday, we celebrated our traditional Wear It Yellow Day πŸ’› and BBQ Fundraiser, raising over $300 for Children’s Groundβ€”a First Nations-led charity that supports community-led programs in education, health, and employment.
Throughout Term 2, students will continue engaging in a range of activities, games, and challenges during Student Life lessons that explore First Nations cultures and the journey of reconciliation.
This year’s theme, β€œBridging Now to Next”, reminds us of the importance of building reconciliation in our everyday lives. We are proud to stand in solidarity and show ongoing respect for First Nations peoples, cultures, and histories πŸ–€πŸ’›β€οΈ.
