Reconciliation Week  

This week was National Reconciliation Week where we are called to Be Brave and Make Change. The week started with a Reconciliation Liturgy where we heard about our connection to the Holy Spirit and First Nations people connection to the creator spirit. The school sat in a yarning circle and were reminded that sometimes being brave starts with a conversation, whether that be in a text message, email or a yarning circle, it is these conversations that can lead to change.  The Senior Learning Hub students also created artworks to accompany the interpretation of Pslams 132 from the Bible.  

Throughout the week we had Lillian Miller our First Nations Consultant from Cairns visit each class to learn more about Reconciliation week and Mabo Day. Many hearts have also been returned and placed in the library and assembly area for the Sea of Hearts Challenge. Be sure to come and read about what reconciliation means to the students and their families. 

Today the week ended with students invited to wear yellow as the colour of friendship and optimism. The Year Six Leaders also raised money by making and selling cupcakes. The money raised will be donated to a local First Nations Charity.
