Note Regarding Parking this coming Monday and Tuesday

Green Point Baptist Church are hosting an event on site this Monday 24 May and Tuesday 25 May which will result in an increase of vehicles on site for these two days. To accommodate the additional impact on our parking, all staff have been instructed to utilise other parking within the College grounds for these days. We emphasise that the additional guests will be arriving after school starts and leaving after the afternoon pickup window. The visitors to the Church are also planning to car pool wherever possible. Despite all these measures being in place, we may still experience additional traffic for drop-off and pick-up for these two days, and we ask that you exercise patience and understanding for these two days in particular.

ATSI Observances

'National Sorry Day' (26 May) is about remembering and commemorating the Stolen Generations, and recognising how this history continues to affect so many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families.

It is important to understand that when using the word "sorry" in the context of the 

Stolen Generations, the word represents the grief and loss experienced by the parents, families and communities of the children who were forcibly removed. Survivors of Stolen Generations themselves use the word "sorry" when speaking of their loss as a result of their separation from their family, community, country and culture.

For Australians across the country, we use the word "sorry" to show understanding and empathy toward someone who has lost someone special. For example, "I’m sorry for your loss".

"When we meet to commemorate National Sorry Day, we do so by showing respect and remembrance in a similar way as when we meet on other days of historical significance, such as ANZAC Day.

On National Sorry Day, we gather together to commemorate the Stolen Generations, their families and communities, celebrating their strength and survival and sharing in the process of healing and reconciliation.'

These words have been written by the National Sorry Day Committee to support schools in observing Sorry Day. We acknowledge their loss and stand with all ASTI communities as they mourn. More information is on the resource link below.
