22.01.2022 As part of St Columban's commitment to reconciliation, we strive towards a more just, equitable nation by championing unity and mutual respect as we come together and connect with one another. Today we work together to further that national journey towards a fully reconciled country. We acknowledge that each of us is situated on Country that has been cared for by generations of Traditional Custodians. We extend our gratitude to all First Nations People who... ensure the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and we pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging whose sacred connection with this country is a gift to us all.

22.01.2022 Today is National Sorry Day, a day where we acknowledge and recognise the grief, injustice and the resilience of the Stolen Generations. On the 26th May 1997 the Bringing them home report was presented in Federal Parliament and brought to light the atrocities of various assimilation and protection policies that led to the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, community and cultures creating the Stolen Generations. In the spirit of reconciliation, St Columban's College reflects on this dark time in our Countrys history and consider the intergenerational trauma that may affect our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, staff, and community.
