Wirringka Student Services offers a range of events throughout the year that are free for students to attend. Offered exclusively to Aboriginal students studying at UniSA, our events provide an opportunity for you to connect with your peers in a fun and relaxed environment. Spaces are limited so registration is essential.
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is Tuesday 27 May until Tuesday 3 June. This year’s theme ‘Bridging Now to Next’ reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future. It calls on all of us to step forward together, to look ahead and continue the push forward to build a more united and respectful nation.
A dedicated group of UniSA staff and students have worked together to create UniSA's National Reconciliation Week program with a variety of free in-person and online events, and we invite you to come along and get involved
