COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COUNSELLOR

Wadda Mooli all,

What an exciting time it is for cultural engagement at the moment preparing for all of the upcoming events. We would first like to reflect on our wonderful Twilight Open Evening and Harmony Day celebrations. The Twilight Open Evening was phenomenal! The girls all were so proud of their culture and put in such an effort to make it meaningful and to embrace how important their culture is to them. They did this by sharing stories, and dance music and even had the opportunity to cook traditional dishes in hospitality to share with the community. We also had a wonderful celebration for Harmony Week with an amazing guest speaker, Dion Devow. The girls were so touched and moved by his speech and he shared the importance of embracing culture.

We have some very exciting events coming up this term, so add these dates to your calendars!

• 25 May: National Reconciliation Week Assembly
• 26 May: National Sorry Day
• 27 –  3^: June National Reconciliation Week
• 3 June: Flag Ceremony and Mabo Day

As always please feel free to contact me at any time or keep an eye out on notices and the Student Yarn up page for exciting opportunities.
