reflect on the theme of &quot;All In&quot; in the context of being an ally.  <br \/><br \/>What can \u201cAll In\u201d mean?<br \/><br \/>\u2022 Not leaving the emotional work to First Nations people to carry alone.<br \/>\u2022 Responding to confusion or push back with curiosity rather than defensiveness.<br \/>\u2022 Asking: Who is having the conversation with the people who are frustrated?<br \/>\u2022 No shying away from having the &quot;Hard Yarns&quot;.<br \/><br \/>Being outraged when you see something wrong may be easy, and being silent can be common.  However not everyone has those choices.  <br \/><br \/>So, as we approach National Reconciliation Day - and in fact every day - think about how you can directly contribute to change and support our First Nations peoples, our students and our community and stand up to unfairness.  <br \/><br \/>[Courtesy of Aunty Munya and Carla <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/104545271345548\"  rel=\"nofollow

Cathedral School newsletter?  <br \/>   <br \/>See below part of what Dr McGonigle shared with our School community.<br \/>  <br \/>Racism and the work of Reconciliation.<br \/><br \/>&#039;&#039;I arrived on Australian soil to work at St Andrew\u2019s Cathedral School and Gawura School in January 2017. It was a year\u2019s secondment from my job in the UK.<br \/><br \/>&quot;I had an immediate soul connection to Australia. Yet, what quickly followed was a revelation of the raw scar that exists on the face of society in regard to First Nation\u2019s People.<br \/><br \/>&quot;I had long worked in areas of social deprivation and social conflict in Northern Ireland and internationally and had sadly come to expect some realities. Yet, I was shocked by what I experienced here, its depth and complexity and the shameful recency of political, economic and social movement on recognising the issues and starting to bring solutions.<br \/><br \/>&quot;I soon had the privilege of working alongside Pastor Ray and Sharon Minniecon, two of the founders of Gawura School and have continued to do so in my role as Head of School since 2022. Their gracious, compassionate and relentlessly hopeful approach is a constant inspiration to me.<br \/><br \/>&quot;Then Saturday morning happened. Organised heckling during Pastor Ray\u2019s Acknowledgement of Country at the ANZAC Day Dawn Service in Martin Place. Followed by excuses for the behaviour being widely made related to the sincerity and place of Acknowledgments of Country and Welcomes to Country (and a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding about the difference between the two!). There are appropriate ways to sincerely debate such an issue.<br \/><br \/>&quot;Pastor Ray is one of the most profound human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting. We recently met to discuss school responses to racism. He shared how the previous Saturday, members of his immediate family had been denied access to a local nail bar on the basis of race. That is their daily reality: exclusion, prejudice, pain and burden even in metropolitan, progressive, inner-city Sydney.<br \/><br \/>&quot;We discussed racist comments our First Nations students receive and the Australian regulatory environment as regards racism. I explained how in the UK every racist incident in a school gets recorded and reported to the equivalent of NESA and police. No matter how small the incident may seem, individuals and whole families may then be investigated.<br \/><br \/>&quot;The rise of racism of many kinds in our society is plain and painful to see. It affects numerous races in our community, not only First Nations students and families.<br \/><br \/>&quot;Yet, we at St Andrew\u2019s Cathedral School can, do and will show a better way.&quot;<br \/><br \/>We couldn&#039;t agree more Dr McGonigle.<br \/><br \/>Our Schools&#039; Vision is &quot;Empowering confident, hope-filled champions of a just tomorrow.&quot;  For this to occur, we all must stand up, speak up, show up for our community, our Mob and for a better future.  We want Pastor Ray, his family and our community to know that we stand beside you. \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc9b\ud83d\udda4 <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/26704540462520642\"  rel=\"nofollow
