We warmly welcome Miss Kaitlyn Hodge, who is joining the St. Francis community - please see below a message from Kaitlyn:

My name is Kaitlyn Hodge, I am the new Aboriginal Education Assistant at St Francis Catholic College. I am a proud Dunghutti woman, still on my own journey of learning about and gaining a deeper understanding of my culture. My aim within this role is to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to engage with their education. I’m passionate about belonging to a school community where students feel seen, heard and proud of who they are. I am here to walk alongside our students as they grow, both in the classroom and beyond. I also look forward to working closely with families and the wider school community to strengthen connections and celebrate culture together. Please feel free to come and say hello and introduce yourself. I will be at St Francis Catholic College on Wednesdays. 

We thank the Catholic Education Office, Diocese of Wollongong for their support of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and education.
