Koori School Program 2022
Every Thursday period 4 of blue week we run an amazing program from all our incredible students who identify as part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
Rex Taylor, City of Whittlesea’s Aboriginal Youth Development Officer along with Eva Mumbler, from Whittlesea Community Connections facilitate the program.
As this was the first session for the year the facilitators worked with the students to brainstorm what they would like to learn and engage in for the remainder of the year.
If parents have questions, please feel free to email Rex Taylor on Rex.Taylor@whittlesea.vic.gov.au
