The school opened its doors to the local community welcoming both indigenous and non-indigenous visitors who paused to remember the stolen generation and who came to celebrate indigenous culture.

As part of their reconciliation, guests signed the school’s sorry book showing their commitment to a better future.

Those who attended enjoyed the day’s activities watching as Broke students took part in Indigenous story telling, gave an artefacts demonstration and read letters written about the stolen generation.

To mark the second anniversary, visitors were also shown a screening of the Prime Minister’s apology before marking a minute’s silence.

Aboriginal performer Steve Lambardi from the Worimi people later entertained students and guests playing the didgeridoo and recalling stories about the traditional musical instrument to the delight of the crowd.

Mr Lambardi even gave students an opportunity to play the didgeridoo with year five student Carter Nelson giving his best shot in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

Following Mr Lambardi’s performance a barbecue was provided wrapping up the day’s festivities.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s national apology to the stolen generations two years ago was an event of extraordinary significance in Australia’s history. Broke Public School principal Simon Mulready said Sorry Day was an important opportunity for students to join with their community to commemorate the day.
