TERM 3 WEEK 2

Celebrating NAIDOC Week

Dear valued member of the PLC community,

This week, we have celebrated NAIDOC Week with our students involved in a range of different activities that focus on celebrating Indigenous culture. We have had bracelet making, face painting, and a netball match between our PLC Gorna Liyarn students and Scotch College (with a win for PLC!). On Friday this week, we will be recognising NAIDOC week at our Assembly and having a dance party on the Quad complete with crocodile, emu, and kangaroo sausages to sample.

Announcing of School Leaders

On Friday at 3.00 pm, we will have a special assembly in the Hugh Baird Sports Centre to announce our Stage 1 leadership positions for 2023.

Parents and guests are most welcome to attend.

We are also thrilled to announce a number of recent appointments and promotions within the school:
