Aboriginal Student Program

Family Welcome

To introduce the start of the school year, Whadjuk Noongar Elder Marie Taylor gave a traditional Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony on Noongar country where Trinity College is located. She spoke about the significance of the land on which Trinity situates, and emphasised the importance of the boys respecting cultural ways and sharing their culture with the community. Marie also spoke about looking after the places we learn and live in, and mentioned Fanny Balbuk, a Noongar woman who is remembered for being born on Matagarup (Heirisson Island) and protesting against the occupation of her home.
