National Reconciliation Week
Calliope State School is celebrating Reconciliation Week from May 27 to June 3. Our classrooms will be doing activities to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. We would love to involve our community, so if you have ideas or would like to be involved in our celebrations, please contact Naomi Hughes on nhugh56@eq.edu.au or phone the school office.
