On a more personal note Bruce Pascoe has been one of those authors and figures whom has inspired much conversation, much thinking and reflecting and ultimately been an important influence on how we educate our children at this school…
It’s a huge honour for us that he is coming. We’re hoping that for him that its an affirmation that his beautiful words are striking at peoples hearts, that we are listening and responding to his message; that we are all in our way working towards a more peaceful and reconciled Australia and that when we look to our children we can see the hope and strength of our future..
