Children's Experience of Racism Project in the ACT

On Tuesday and Wednesday this week, Year 4 and 5 participated in some sessions delivered by the Children and Young People Commissioner's office (ACT Human Rights Commission) about their experiences of racism. 

The ACT Children and Young People Commissioner's office is currently running a project to understand children and young people's views about racism in the ACT. Our students in Year 4 and 5 were able to contribute their experiences of racism through these sessions. 

The aims of the project are to:

1. Enable children and young people to tell their own truth about racism in the ACT through reflection and storytelling by individuals and within groups.
2. Investigate how children and young people identify themselves in terms of racial or cultural diversity (including the terms they prefer to use).
3. Find out who is speaking to them about race, racism and anti-racism and where these conversations are taking place.
4. Explore their ideas on anti-racism in ACT, including their views on the strengths of children and young people to contribute to anti-racism.

2023 Fete

The Community Council is starting to prepare for the 2023 Fete. We are currently looking for some volunteers to run the plant store. This role would include growing or acquiring plants for the plant store and running the plant store on the day of the Fete. Please contact me if you would be interested in running the plant store.

We are also starting to collect second hand books for the book store and clean plastic or glass jars for the Tombola store. If you have any of these items at home please feel free to drop them into the Front Office.
