Faced with the tragedy of black deaths in custody, the ravages created by alcohol and disease and « the depressing failure of past policies among • the Aborigines, a considerable number of Australians feel a sense of helplessness and impotent guilt. Many voices have been raised over these

journey into the heart of Australia, while
our families at home hope and pray for us. This experience will provide a tremendous opportunity for a high level of staff and student interaction, and hopefully, the chance for us to grow closer as a school community. As students, we ask that our families will be
with us as we embark on the challenge of the coming year. Throughout the year, let us pray that our Father in Heaven will bring thoughts of love and peace into the hearts of each one of us, so that by the end of 1988, the sense of family between us will be a
strong one which will extend well into our futures.
