Dear Parents and Carers,

I am sure that you were surprised, shocked and saddened by the recent events in New Zealand.  Our hearts and prayers go to the entire nation of New Zealand and particularly to those who lost loved ones in this most tragic event.  It seems ironic that we as a school community and nation stopped to celebrate Harmony Day a few days after the tragedy in New Zealand. Harmony Day reminded us all of our individuality, our acceptance and inclusion of others, no matter of race, religion, gender or views.  Our aim is to live in harmony with our fellow human beings. Over the coming days and weeks as the community and faith leaders of New Zealand work together, let us remember to appreciate all that we have in our lives and pray for peace in our own families, school and world.
