National Sorry Day- Sunday, 26th May
National Sorry Day, officially the National Day of Healing, is an event held annually in Australia on 26 May commemorating the Stolen Generations. It is part of the ongoing efforts towards reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
We acknowledged this important day as part of our Monday morning gathering on Monday, 27th May.
“Sorry is the most important word because it has great meaning in our community,
it means having empathy and compassion and understanding.”
Christine King, Stolen Generation Alliance, 2008

Year 1/2 Baptism Faith Night
Wednesday, 12th June
The Year 1/2 parents/guardians and children are invited to a Family Faith Night focusing on the Sacrament of Baptism, on Wednesday, 12th June. During the evening there will be various activities that you and your child will participate in together.
It would be appreciated if you could bring a memento from your child’s Baptism to this evening. It could be a stole, clothing, gown, candle, photo or another special item. Children that have not been baptised are welcome to attend. You can bring along a special childhood memento to share with the group (special baby toy, baby photo, baby clothes, memento from birth etc). We particularly ask that you keep this a secret from your child until it is time during the evening to share this with them.
The session will take place in the Learning Hub between 6.00 and 7.00pm. The expectation is that all students attend with at least one parent.
Please contact me by phone or email if you have any questions or require clarification.
