Assistant Principals' Report

Hello everyone and welcome to our newsletter article,

 

Reconciliation Week 

The dates for NRW remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey – the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.
