There’s more to Animal Assisted Education than many people realise 🐾

Can you spot the false statement?

26/05/2026

Today, on National Sorry Day, we reflect on the strength and resilience of Stolen Generations survivors, and the ongoing journey of healing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The theme for 2026, From Sorry to Action, reminds us that while acknowledging past harm is important, acting to address it is critical. Saying sorry signals compassion - action delivers justice.

At MacKillop, we walk alongside many who continue to feel the impacts of the past. We invite you to pause, listen, and acknowledge this history and its lasting impact, and to consider how we can all move beyond words toward meaningful, lasting change.

Let this be part of an ongoing commitment to truth-telling, healing, and action.
