NAIDOC Week, 4-11 July 2021

NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to come together to celebrate not only Indigenous achievement but the history, rich culture, and survival of the oldest continuing living culture on the planet. This year’s theme is Heal Country.

God of all creation, as we journey together in this Great Southern Land,
We pray for healing, forgiveness, and unity,
Creating a path of good will, with justice and compassion.
Jesus, through the power of your love,
You have given us the courage, wisdom, and strength
To share our gifts and talents in humility.
In peace and understanding we reconcile with each other.
Creator Spirit, we come together in prayer and thanksgiving
For the many blessings we have received.
Allow your Spirit to wash over us and give us strength to walk together as one.

Thank you for a wonderful Term 2. The students worked well and took on my challenge to say “Thank you” as often as they could. I hope this continues. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the College community, parents, teachers and students, for switching to Remote Learning on Thursday 24 June at short notice. As soon as I have information about what school will look like for Term 3, I will communicate this to you. Please note that 12 July is Parent-Teacher-Student Interviews for Years 7-10 and booking close on Thursday 8 July.

I hope everyone is coping well and staying safe during lockdown
