Reconciliation Week: First Contacts Virtual Event

Join us for a free online learning event for Reconciliation Week 2025. Through an exploration of first contacts between Aboriginal people and colonists aboard the First Fleet, students will have the opportunity to reflect on this year’s Reconciliation Week theme, Bridging Now to Next, and consider the ongoing connection between past, present and future.

Students will examine a range of historical sources, including artworks and Aboriginal cultural objects from the Museum of Sydney, and consider the far-reaching impact of these new arrivals on the Aboriginal peoples and Gadigal Country.

The virtual event is suitable for students in stage 2 and 3.
