Dear Colleagues in Kindness at South Grafton Public School,
Wow what can I say! Mr Watson informs me this is the 5th year the school is celebrating World Kindness
Week with special assemblies and presentations. South Grafton holds a special place in my heart as a
school which genuinely has embraced this campaign to make a difference from our classrooms to our
staffrooms and within our corridors of government. When I saw the school proudly receive its certificate of
membership to World Kindness Australia from Her Excellency Dame Marie Bashir Governor of NSW in
Government House only two years ago, it was testament to the difference Kindness can make.
I wish I could be there this year to share and participate in your activities and hear your stories, however I
am giving the closing keynote presentation at the International World Museum Conference representing 40
nations on How Your Organisation Can Become An Agent For Positive Change.I think the students of
South Grafton could no doubt be a perfect example of this. I have included the letters we received from
Her Excellency Marie Bashir, Governor NSW, The Hon Mike Baird, The Premier of NSW and Cr Clover Moore,
The Lord Mayor of Sydney, which students may like to present at the Assembly and forward to the Mayor of
Grafton. I also included A Call To Actionaddress which goes out to citizens of all nations and was inspired
by a young school girl, Malala from Pakistan who received the Nobel Peace Prize this year and
demonstrates The Courage of Kindness.
Thank you so much again South Grafton and my very best to the entire School Community in celebrating
World Kindness Week 2014.
Kind regards,
Michael Lloyd-White
Chairman World Kindness Australia
General Secretary The World Kindness Movement

A Quick Update on World Kindness News,
World Kindness Australia has been officially endorsed as the peak national body to represent Australia in the
global campaign for a kinder world. We have been given the charge to take a lead role at the
international table to develop a global kindness campaign to address many issues facing a society that too
often witnesses unkindness. Now elected to a 2ndterm as the Secretariat to the peak global body, The
World Kindness Movement and following the 8thGeneral Assembly hosted in Sydney last month, I sent a
letter to the Prime Minister of Thailand to support Thailand hosting a Global Kindness Summit for world
leaders (The K20). This featured on the front page of the Bangkok Post and is now scheduled to take place
for August 2015 where participating cities and our Prime Minister will be invited to attend. This is one highlight
among the many this year which included.
