Reconciliation Week - Wristband Craft
The Reconciliation Week – Wristband Craft provides students with a simple, hands-on way to celebrate and show support for reconciliation.
Students can colour, personalise, and wear their wristbands, fostering discussions about respect, connection, and positive relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community.
Perfect for classroom celebrations, whole-school events, or family engagement activities during Reconciliation Week.
