Reconciliation Week: First Contacts Virtual Event
Join us for our free online learning event for Reconciliation Week 2025. Your students will learn about first contacts between Aboriginal peoples and colonists that arrived as part of the First Fleet.
We will examine a range of historical sources, including artworks and Aboriginal cultural objects in order to explore the impact of these new arrivals on the Aboriginal peoples of Sydney and the local environment.
The virtual event is suitable for students in stage 2 and 3.
