National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is commemorated every year from 27 May to 3 June, giving Australians the opportunity to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this country, to learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture, and to celebrate Indigenous culture. The theme of this year’s NRW is ‘In This Together’. To learn more about NRW, please visit their website.

Indigenous children’s book author and illustrator, Dub Leffler, has created a colouring sheet exclusively for our 2020 NRW colouring competition. The colouring sheet was inspired by his book, Once There Was a Boy, a whimsical story about friendship, forgiveness and reconciliation.

There are two categories: Foundation to Year 3, and Year 4 to Year 6. There will be one winner in each category who will win book vouchers for themselves and their school libraries!
