Circle of Solidarity Refugee Week

Representatives from student leadership, the Identity team, Principal Tony Paatsch, staff and students gathered in a circle of solidarity to express our support and prayers for issues facing refugees and people seeking asylum. We all understand how lucky we are to call Australia home, but we recognise that there are many people who face extreme injustices and challenges on their journey to a safe haven. The theme for Refugee this year is, ‘Finding Freedom’. The theme aims to highlight aspects of the refugee experience and helps the broader community to understand what it is like to seek and celebrate freedom as a refugee. Please generously support the ‘Welcome Place Food Drive’ in our homerooms as an act of advocacy to support our local refugee and asylum seeker families in our Geelong region, where they are free to feel safe and welcome.
