Due to the current global and national health crisis presently being experienced, we regretfully advise, that our annual Appin Massacre Memorial Ceremony scheduled for Sunday, 19th April 2020 has been cancelled.

As a sign of mourning and respect, we would kindly request that your school fly your flags at half-mast on Friday, 17th April, 2020 in honour of the Dharawal people, who sadly lost their lives on this day in 1816.

It is important to Remember and Acknowledge the Massacre of the known 14 Dharawal men, women and children, as we owe them a great deal.

We hope and pray all staff and students have a safe and happy holiday.

Yours sincerely,

Sr Kerry Macdermott OLN

Aboriginal Catholic Ministry/Winga Myamly Co-ordinator
