Vicki WARD (Eltham) (10:36): As a past parent of Our Lady Help of Christians, I know firsthand the caring and kind nature of this school community. OLHC’s recent Sea of Hearts project during reconciliation week was another example of this exceptional school. Students and the wider school community, including myself, were invited to decorate cardboard hearts to show what reconciliation week meant to us. The reflections from the school were beautiful to read and demonstrated such a strong understanding of the importance of reconciliation. Hearts were taken home for a family conversation and reflection on the meaning of Voice and reconciliation week. I loved seeing what the hearts represented to each student and reading the reflections showing the kindness and inclusion in the hearts of each student and community member. Congratulations, our ladies, on a beautiful exhibition of reconciliation and inclusion.
