Mabo Theme Day

On Monday 27th May, there will be a whole school theme day, run by the Mabo house leaders to raise awareness for the need for continued support of Australia’s Indigenous communities. This date was selected as it falls between National Sorry Day (Sunday 26th May) and Mabo Day (Monday 3rd June).

On this day, students will not be required to wear school uniform, however are encouraged to engage with the theme and dress in the colours of the Aboriginal flag which are red, black and yellow. We encourage you to engage in this theme as well.

There will be activities running throughout the week, including a Staff vs Student game of Kabi Kabi Burainjin.
