Join the Reconciliation Day 'pop-up' choir

By Rev. Dr Katherine Rainger, Senior Chaplain

The public holiday to mark Reconciliation Day is a great opportunity to come together as Canberrans to acknowledge the past and work together for a better future for all Australians. The theme this year is Now More Than Ever.

Radford College students have been partnering with OZY Youth Choir Honouring Defence Service and Making Peas/ce to bring songs of healing and hope to the wider public. Earlier this year Radford students joined with students from other school to sing at the Government House Open Day.

Students from Year 3 – 12 have been invited to sing as part of a ‘pop-up’ choir performance on Reconciliation Day.
The performance will take place on Monday 27 May at 10.00 am at Commonwealth Park Stage 88.

Two songs will be sung One and Free and Anthem of the Desert Pea.

More information, sign-up, lyrics and music can be found here.
