September 2023 Newsletter
We love our kids and it was a joy to celebrate National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day with them. The day has been marked each year since 1988 to celebrate the birthdays of First Nations people taken from their families at a young age – the Stolen Generations.
The kids had a great time learning about our Culture and community, with colouring and face painting activities to keep them busy. Find out more about what's been happening at MVAC in this month's newsletter.
