Reconciliation Week Wristband
The Reconciliation Week Wristband Craft is a simple and meaningful activity that encourages students to celebrate National Reconciliation Week in a hands-on way.
Students colour, decorate, and wear their wristbands, sparking classroom conversations about respect, connection, and reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community.
Perfect for classroom celebrations, assemblies, or school-wide Reconciliation Week initiatives.
