I hope everyone has settled into Term 3! As we have done in the past, the school community acknowledges and celebrates NAIDOC Week in the first full week of Term 3, to recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Monday\u2019s Assembly set the tone for the week with a thoughtful and challenging address by Yvonne Weldon. As well as being a proud past SCEGGS parent, Yvonne is an independent councillor for the City of Sydney and the first Aboriginal councillor in the City\u2019s 180 year history. Yvonne\u2019s message of inclusivity and acceptance for all resonated with us all.<\/p>\n
