ATSI Observances
During May to July each year, there are a number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Observance days. This year Green Point Christian College is commemorating Sorry Day, Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC as a school community. Our discussions during this time will centre around the Australians Together Framework, giving a brief overview, allowing for deeper study in the future. All information will be contained in this temporary ATSI TAB: https://australianstogether.org.au/education/
All students will be participating in activities, but there will be no whole school event. The topics are listed below. Each week in The Messenger we will inform families of the observance we will focus on in school the following week:
