National Sorry Day, officially the National Day of Healing, is an event held annually in Australia on 26 May commemorating the Stolen Generations. It is part of the ongoing efforts towards reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
Join us at McKoy Street campus | 26 May, 10:30am
The Koorie Education Unit would like to extend a warm welcome to all staff and students to participate in our National Sorry Day activity

Light refreshments will be provided for those attending on-site at McKoy street. Activity will end at 12pm.
For staff and students who are unable to join us, here are some meaningful ways you can do to participate during your free time:
- Attend an alternative event in your local area
