On Thursday we held a whole school liturgy under St Mary’s Shelter. We gathered in a circular formation around a beautiful prayer space which was brought to life with the colours of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flags. I felt a profound sense of reverence as 550 students, 60 staff and families all looked inwards and focused our attention on our school’s commitment to promoting justice and reconciliation for Australia’s First Peoples.
Following the liturgy, we held a morning tea in the staff courtyard with students and families. It was a wonderful celebration of who we are and what we stand for as a school community. There were smiles and laughter. Food was shared. Stories were told. A strong sense of unity and joy was evident, as everyone came together to celebrate. It was a memorable occasion that strengthened our bonds and reminded us of the importance of community and togetherness.
