NAIDOC Celebration  Day - Wednesday 23rd June

Thank you to everyone who supported the JSC Social Service Day this week. It was great to see students dressed in clothing that celebrates and respects the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 

Unfortunately, the recent lockdown meant that the scheduled JSC meeting to plan the day was unable to take place. In light of that, the decision about where to send the funds that were raised will be decided in Term 3 at the first JSC meeting. We will inform you in a newsletter next term what charity the funds were donated to.
