Public Holiday Reminder
A reminder that Monday 10 March is a public holiday (Labour Day).
We look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday 11 March. We hope you have a lovely long weekend!
Harmony Parade
Harmony Week is the celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds. At Good News, Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.
Students are invited to wear orange or wear appropriate cultural dress on Friday 21 March for a gold coin donation.
Throughout the week, there will be a variety of lunchtime events organised by the College Student Leaders and the Canteen will have some special menu items to celebrate this important time.
The culmination of the week will be the whole College Harmony Parade, which will take place at 9am on Friday 21March.
