All In ❤️ 🖤 💛

All In, the theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026, is a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

Yesterday’s Reconciliation Walk was a powerful reminder of what it means to be all in - standing together, learning from one another and walking forward with respect.

More than 700 local students took part in the 19th annual Reconciliation School Flag Walk, joined by Elders, community leaders and residents in a moving show of unity. Walking from Warilla-Barrack Point Surf Life Saving Club to Reddall Reserve East, generations came together to walk side by side.

Students experienced a traditional smoking ceremony and cultural dance by Gumaraa and a Welcome to Country by Aunty Jodi Edwards. Local leaders - including Aboriginal Elders, Councillors, civic leaders and community members - took part in a for a moving flag exchange ceremony with students.
