GREEK
LANGUAGE SCHOOL
to Parents and Grandparents of our
Greek Language School in Newcastle
Dear Parents, Grandparents and Friends;
Acknowledging the fact that our children are now third and fourth generation Greek-Australians and the use of the Greek Language is possibly irrelevant to most, we will go on to say, that we believe that all of you share our desire to hold on to what is left of our Mother Tongue and Culture in this our Community. And if we are serious about promoting our culture and protecting our place in history, it is important that the next generation of our families understands what it means to be a Greek/Australian. As you are all aware, our ancestors are responsible for creating moral, intellectual and political systems that have become the backbone of Western Civilization. We should all be proud of this and need to keep educating our future generations of the important role Greece has played throughout history. The best way of achieving this is to ensure that our children and grandchildren have access to Greek School.
