COMMUNITY – NAIDOC WEEK

Students are busily preparing for our NAIDOC week celebrations to take place in the first week of Term 3. Bracelets are being made which will be offered to each student on the first day back as a way to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and languages for the 50 years deadly campaign. Some year 7s are choreographing a dance, Yr 12s are preparing a story and a quiz to share so all are invited to participate in Aboriginal art, dance, story, sport and knowledge quiz to fully embrace the cultures, histories and languages of our First Nations Peoples. 

We are requesting donations of pancake mix so all students can taste a native jam – rosella, quongdong or finger lime jam. Can you help?

You and your families may also want to participate in the activities that all local councils are running in your area.

This Sunday, Catholics across Australia will celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday. Please click here to view information about engaging with th day.
