NATIONAL SORRY DAY AND RECONCILIATION FLAG WALK

Sunday 26th May was National Sorry day and Monday 27th May was the Shellharbour Council Reconciliation flag walk.

Students from St Joseph’s Catholic high school and other Catholic and Public Education students met at Harrison Park in Shellharbour to participate in the flag walk and other activities.

Grace and Jazmin Jensen, Tionne Cleary, Preston Wall, Shae Rhoden, Grace Steep, Ms Toumanda Fohrman and Mr Brown attended on behalf of St Joseph’s.

As you can see from the photos, the day was perfect for this and the students had a great time, representing their culture and our school.
