Growing Together’ is about how Australia is like a big, strong tree. The branches show all the different people and cultures that live here. The roots remind us of our history, especially the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. By learning from the past and working together, we help the tree (our country) grow healthy and strong for the future.
Reconciliation means…
Reconciliation means bringing people together to make things right after there have been wrongs in the past. In Australia, it’s about helping Indigenous and non-Indigenous people understand each other, respect each other’s cultures, and work together for a better future.

Many of these resources and activities have been developed in consultation with NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) to ensure that the program meets NSW curriculum outcomes for Stages 3, 4 & 5.
Reconciliation NSW aims to create a reconciled, just and equitable community for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. We work to inform, support and inspire people to engage in reconciliation.
