NAIDOC day

This year, NAIDOC Week runs from 6 to 13 July. St Stephen’s Primary will celebrate NAIDOC Day on Friday, 4 July. Students will mark the occasion with special activities in their classrooms. The day will also be a free dress day as part of our End of Term Fundraiser.

Students are encouraged to wear a splash of NAIDOC colour – this could be in the form of socks, hair ties, a top, wristband, or similar.

Upcoming Dates to Remember:

Primary Reporting Day: Monday 28 July
Children return to school: Tuesday 29 July

As we prepare for the holiday break, I encourage everyone to take this time to rest, rejuvenate, and spend quality time with loved ones. I leave you with this Bible verse to reflect upon:

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” – Numbers 6:24-26

Wishing you all a safe and blessed holiday.

Warmest regards,

Andrew Johnston & Hannah Lockwood-Jones
