Aboriginal Contact Centre News
Last week Indigenous and Non-Indigenous students participated in the National Sorry Day bridge walk in Batemans Bay.
Students came together in solidarity with the wider community to pay their respect to Australia’s traditional owners and members of the Stolen Generation.
Students were privileged to experience traditional dances, songs and hear from members of our local Indigenous community.
As part of Reconciliation Week, the college has been participating in a range of activities to raise awareness of Reconciliation in Australia.
Each homeroom will create a short video and explain how they will be brave and make a change in not only our school community but the wider community.
Thank you to Ms Kenna and the hospitality students who made reconciliation cupcakes this week for the school to purchase during morning tea. The cupcakes were decorated with the colours of the Aboriginal flag.
Next week some of our students will be heading to South Bingie to participate in a cultural walk with Trisha Ellis.
In week 9 we will be running our second Gurumbanga mentoring day. We look forward to having all of the Year 5 and 6 students from our local primary schools join us. Our regional NAIDOC mass will be held at St Mary's Catholic Church on Friday 22nd July and our school NAIDOC service will be held on Thursday 28th July.
