Today I attended the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth Child Protection Week Breakfast with Mrs Rebecca Barfoot. This year’s theme is: Every child, in every community, needs a fair go. Dr Karl O’Callaghan APM: Retired Commissioner of Police provided the keynote address, and The Most Rev Timothy Costelloe SDB, Archbishop of Perth, officially launched “You are God’s Marvellous Creation” book written by Andrea Musulin. They spoke of the importance of giving every child the opportunity to thrive and be healthy by providing adequate support to families and their communities. We are very fortunate here at Loreto Nedlands, and I thank all families for their support in our Mission and Social Justice work.
