Year 7 2022 Enrolments closing
Year 7 enrolment offers will be finalised for 2022 next week for letters to be posted at the end of Week 9. We have over 230 applications for next year with more coming in each day. Once offers have been posted, any further applications will be placed onto a waitlist, including for siblings and students that are in our feeder schools. If you know anyone who still needs to apply, please ask them to contact the office urgently.
Sorry Day Service
Sorry Day acknowledges the hurt of the Aboriginal people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, often referred to as the stolen generation. It is important as a nation that we learn from our past and acknowledge the wrongs that have occured as part of the healing process. This can help ensure we work towards reconciliation and mutual understanding amongst all Australians.
John Therry participated in a Sorry Day Service led by Sr Kerry at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Minto on Thursday. It was a lovely service that had students from schools across the region leading the activites of the day. John Therry students played a key role in many aspects of the service and represented themselves and their school with great pride.
At John Therry we will continue to encourage Aboriginal students to embrace and celebrate their culture, and have all students learn the beautiful lessons and great gifts of the oldest civilisation on earth.
