SUMMARY:Working Bee
DESCRIPTION:A task sheet for each of the above dates will be available via the school interviews online booking system https://www.schoolinterviews.com.au/ \, please use the code hsdu6 to book. \nPlease note that a commitment of 3 hours (i.e.\, the whole duration of the working bee) is required.  The aim of each working bee is to have at least 3 staff members and up to 10 parents present. \nWorking bees are a great way to get involved with the centre and your community.  They also help us keep our maintenance costs down.  The working bee levy will be refunded to all families that attend.  You are more than welcome to attend more than one working bee per calendar year; however\, the working bee levy will only be refunded once. \nFrom time-to-time parents that are unable to attend a working bee may be able to do another job or task that can count towards a working bee. \nPlease see Helen or Kathleen for more details. \nFor obvious safety reasons children are unable to attend working bees. \nWhen taking part in working bees we ask that you always be aware of your own health and safety and the health and safety of others.

SUMMARY:Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:Origins of Remembrance Day\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy is this day special to Australians?\nAt 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The allied armies had driven the German invaders back\, having inflicted heavy defeats upon them over the preceding four months. In November the Germans called for an armistice (suspension of fighting) in order to secure a peace settlement. They accepted allied terms that amounted to unconditional surrender. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month attained a special significance in the post-war years. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war. This first modern world conflict had brought about the mobilisation of over 70 million people and left between 9 and 13 million dead\, perhaps as many as one-third of them with no known grave. The allied nations chose this day and time for the commemoration of their war dead. \nOn the first anniversary of the armistice in 1919 two minutes’ silence was instituted as part of the main commemorative ceremony at the new Cenotaph in London. The silence was proposed by Australian journalist Edward Honey\, who was working in Fleet Street. At about the same time\, a South African statesman made a similar proposal to the British Cabinet\, which endorsed it. King George V personally requested all the people of the British Empire to suspend normal activities for two minutes on the hour of the armistice “which stayed the worldwide carnage of the four preceding years and marked the victory of Right and Freedom”. The two minutes’ silence was popularly adopted and it became a central feature of commemorations on Armistice Day.

SUMMARY:Working Bee
DESCRIPTION:A task sheet for each of the above dates will be available via the school interviews online booking system https://www.schoolinterviews.com.au/ \, please use the code wex6h to book. \nPlease note that a commitment of 3 hours (i.e.\, the whole duration of the working bee) is required.  The aim of each working bee is to have at least 3 staff members and up to 10 parents present. \nWorking bees are a great way to get involved with the centre and your community.  They also help us keep our maintenance costs down.  The working bee levy will be refunded to all families that attend.  You are more than welcome to attend more than one working bee per calendar year; however\, the working bee levy will only be refunded once. \nFrom time-to-time parents that are unable to attend a working bee may be able to do another job or task that can count towards a working bee. \nPlease see Helen or Kathleen for more details. \nFor obvious safety reasons children are unable to attend working bees. \nWhen taking part in working bees we ask that you always be aware of your own health and safety and the health and safety of others.

SUMMARY:Sorry Day
DESCRIPTION:Every May 26 in Australia\, National Sorry Day reminds the colonist-descended people of the nation to remember the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Why? During the 20th century\, Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families to be “assimilated” into white Australian culture. They are known as the “Stolen Generations.” It took several Australian government administrations coming and going before an apology was officially offered to the Indigenous Australians\, but it finally was made official\, and actions are still being undertaken to this day to repair the damage caused by tearing native families apart.
