Deadly Day at RMIT 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from Years 7–12 had an exciting opportunity to explore future career pathways at Deadly Day in Construction, hosted by RMIT’s Ngarara Willim Centre at the Bundoora Campus. 

The day gave students an insight into the construction, plumbing and electrician trades, allowing them to explore potential career opportunities and discover the pathways available to them after completing high school.

Students heard from staff involved in the M80 Ring Road project and gained an understanding of what a day in the life looks like working in human resources, construction management and construction. The staff members also discussed what study pathways the staff members took to get into their careers. They also had the opportunity to learn more about what it's like to work in the construction industry. 

A highlight of the day was connecting and yarning with current RMIT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, hearing about their university experiences and learning how the Ngarara Willim Centre supports Indigenous students throughout their studies. 

With plenty of opportunities to learn, get involved, ask questions and connect with others, it was a fantastic day of exploration, inspiration and cultural connection. 

YEAR 9 PARTY SAFE WORKSHOP  

The Wellbeing Team conducted Party Safe workshops in Learning for Life classes for Year 9 students. These workshops provided students with an opportunity to build their knowledge and confidence around making informed decisions, staying safe in social situations, and looking out for themselves and their peers. 

Through discussions and activities, students explored the importance of personal safety, understanding risks, recognising peer pressure, and making responsible 

choices. The workshops also encouraged students to consider how they can support their friends and navigate social situations with greater awareness and confidence. 

These sessions were designed to support students’ wellbeing and equip them with practical life skills to help them make safe and informed decisions to navigate social situations safely. 

Our talented school band brought the vibes to Breakfast Club, treating students and staff to some fantastic live music while they enjoyed their cheese toasties.
