St Mary's will have a K-6 focus on our first day back next term in Whole School Prayer.

Voice. Treaty. Truth. were three key elements to the reforms set out in the Uluru Statement from the Heart. These reforms represent the unified position of First Nations Australians.

The true story of colonisation must be told, must be heard, must be acknowledged.

 But hearing this history is necessary before we can come to some true reconciliation, some genuine healing for both sides.

 Then we can move forward together.

 Let’s work together for a shared future.
