Dear Families

Welcome to November! We only have 6 weeks left of Term 4, the time is going by so quickly.

Next week our country celebrates NAIDOC Week. The National Aborigines and Islander Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) was formed in the 1920’s to increase the awareness of Australians in regards to the plight of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. NAIDOC week celebrates the achievements, history and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and is being celebrated this year from Sunday 8 November to Sunday 15 November.  The theme for 2020 is ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’ and is an opportunity for Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Limited (DOSCEL) and our school communities to uphold this tradition and continue to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and cultures. Our school community acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander’s continuous occupation and sacred connection to this land that has lasted for many thousands of years.
