My artwork ‘Balance’ shows a tree with day on one side and night on the other. The day and night remind us that just like the tree needs both to grow, we need to learn from our past and use that knowledge to heal our country. By understanding and learning about all parts of our history, we acknowledge the hardships First Nations people have faced and are able to come together.
Reconciliation means…
Reconciliation is like a healing tree after damage. Acknowledging past wrongs and working together, we help our country grow stronger.

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.
