While Indigenous cultures are highlighted where possible throughout the year, we celebrate them in a special way each year at the time of NAIDOC.
Our Lady Help of Christians School has an Indigenous Liaison Officer whose role is to assist Indigenous families and students to belong to and connect with the school community. We welcome and encourage our families to be actively involved in the life of the school and their children’s education.
