Reconciliation Week: Tribal Warrior Cultural Cruise

Friday 30 May, 10:15 am - 1:30 pm

National Reconciliation Week 2025 (27 May to 3 June) is just around the corner, and we’re excited to offer our staff a unique opportunity to experience the Tribal Warrior Cruise, exploring Sydney Harbour through the eyes of its original custodians. This experience will connect you to some of the traditions and practices that Aboriginal communities have kept alive for thousands of years.

Reconciliation is not momentary, but a march forward. Together our nation has made great strides towards a more united future, but we have also faced and continue to face setbacks. This year's theme 'Bridging Now to Next' reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future. It calls on all Australians to unite and move forward together, guided by the lessons of history.

Here in FMH, we’re excited to work together with you to ensure FMH is a safe place for all, where our education and teaching reflects our First Cultures as well as our newer cultures, and our staff and students are supported to bring their whole selves to our campuses.
