Sorry Day Banner

Commemorate National Sorry Day on the 26th of May with our Sorry Day Banner beautifully designed by Kerri-Ann Taggart (also known as KEZ), an Indigenous digital artist from the Wonnarua area (in the Hunter Valley, NSW).

Kerri-Ann explains the inspiration for her artwork: “The hand cradling the native hibiscus, encapsulated in the Aboriginal circle. The pathways branching out sharing the story of the Stolen Generation Flower. Never forgetting the past but moving to a better future.”

  • Step 1Download and print the template onto cover paper. This provides a great surface for decorating and creating your banner!
  • Step 2Colour and decorate the banner with your favourite craft materials. You could use markers, pencils or even paint. Allow to dry if needed.
  • Step 3Cut out the banner along the bold, black outline. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 4Mountain fold along the dotted line. Place a length of twine underneath the top of the folded paper and glue the tab over the top of the twine. Tie the ends of the twine together to create a hanger. Alternatively, you could string multiple banners together on a longer length of twine to create bunting.
