NAIDOC WEEK 2ND - 9TH JULY 2023

NAIDOC Week is a time to celebrate the histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  The national theme for 2023, 'For Our Elders', recognises that across every generation, Elders have played and continue to play an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families.
As a school to embrace this occassion the students have been involved in different activities to demonstrate our commitment to fostering culturally safe and inclusive learning environments.  
1/2W created bookmarks as part of their CAFE reading activities, P/1D and 3/4S read Dreamtime stories. During Music each class participated in Indigenous dance workshops to show the importance of story telling through dance. During Art the classes had to work together using colours and patterns to create a NAIDOC WEEK artwork display.

Children Late For School
If your child is late for school for any reason, including attending an appointment, you need to escort your child to the office. A child was allowed to walk into the foyer alone and unfortunately the office staff were in a meeting and did not realise! Luckily, we do not think he was there for long.

At Karingal Heights our staff wear many hats and this week Mr Hurford took time away from his 5/6 class to run PE as Mr Bodley is busy being the acting Principal.  Mr Hurford showed off his quality foot movements and ball skills while demonstating how to control a soccer ball.
