Reconciliation Week

On the 29th of May, HPSC Indigenous Students attended the Screening of “We don’t need a Map” at the ACMI- Federation Square, as part of the Reconciliation week festivities.

The students celebrated their cultural identity by watching the documentary from filmmaker Warwick Thornton who investigates our relationship to the Southern Cross, in this fun and thought provoking ride through Australia’s cultural and political landscape.

After lunch Federation Square was abuzz with Reconciliation activities, our boys were treated to a deadly performance by their Uncle Joe who encouraged the boys to participate by singing along, showing the primary school children who were in attendance what great young Indigenous man they all are.

Model United Nations Council in Monash University

Fifteen of our outstanding year 10 students participated in the Model United Nations Council (MUNC) held at Monash University on the 13th of June. This event is an extension opportunity for our students to work with other schools in discussing global issues.

MUNC is a simulation of the General Assembly at the actual United Nations and ran according to the UN protocols and procedures followed by the UN General Assembly. Through role-play, our students  became the ambassadors from Chile, South Africa, Russia and Pakistan. The topic deliberated was : Rewrite the Future: Quality Education for All.

Students had to present their chosen country’s position, put forward amendments to a draft resolution, seek support from fellow delegates using diplomacy and negotiation skills.

Chile, Russia, South Africa and Pakistan were well represented by fifteen of our outstanding year 10 students - Shayal Deo, Kayden Draai, Isabeau Hart, Connor Hibbert, Rabia Hussaini, Nilofer Jafari, Max Jin  , Faisal Karim, Omesha Karim, Joalin Lay, Farima Norozi, Jurel Ortencio, Daryka Renehan, Eddie Vusic and Jermond Walia.

Well done delegates!
