National Sorry Day Friday, 26 May

25 May 2017

National Sorry Day is this Friday, 26 May and marks the beginning of Reconciliation Week next week from 27/05-03/06. In honour of National Sorry Day students can wear purple on Friday and this will be acknowledged and spoken about at our Friday assembly by our SRC.

Purple has been adopted as the official colour after the native purple hibiscus. The native hibiscus has been approved by the National Stolen Generations Alliance as the official symbol for Sorry Day. According to the Kimberley Stolen Generations Aboriginal Corporation, the native hibiscus "was adopted because it is found widely across Australia and it is a survivor. Its colour denotes compassion and spiritual healing".
