NAIDOC Week Casual Clothes Day
Last week we invited all students to come dressed in casual clothes in celebration of NAIDOC Week (which fell during the school holidays this year) to help raise funds for Opening the Doors Foundation. Thank you to our community for your wonderful support always.
Visit openingthedoors.org.au for more information on the fantastic service the foundation provides.
The 2025 NAIDOC Week theme, “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy”, reminds us to honour the strength of First Nations people and look forward to a future led by the next generation. Let’s stand together in respect, celebration, and community.
Lunchtime Art Club
Wow! Learning Mentor Mark has been kept super busy with so many budding artists joining in with his lunchtime club! While some students have been working on their Disruption project, many others are just enjoying setting their creativity free working their own artworks.
