We have commenced this term by celebrating NAIDOC week. NAIDOC week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A big shout out to the Year 4 students who have displayed their research of inspiring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the College's Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is a collection of indigenous art and student created biographies that can be viewed at the entrance of the College, past the library and MPC. We have celebrated NAIDOC week with art, research, acknowledgment and indigenous games.

Headspace is coming to Our Lady of the Southern Cross College in Week 4 on Tuesday 2 August and Wednesday 3 August. Tuesday (2/8/22) evening the College is hosting Headspace for a parent presentation. Although this parent information session is designed for parents with teenagers, parents of younger children are welcome to come along. Experts are advising to “train” your child to be a teenager before they are a teenager. This involves starting some discussions such as technology boundaries before they are emotionally invested in the outcome. This evening will be a head’s up in some discussions that you may wish to start sooner rather then later. Please see the flyer below for details. This flyer will also be uploaded on Facebook and emailed to parents along with a quick registration form.
