'IN MY BLOOD IT RUNS' SCREENING

This evening, Senior School students are invited to a screening of the documentary In My Blood It Runs to help raise funds for our partner organisation Teach Learn Grow (TLG) and raise awareness for Indigenous education.

 

Through our partnership with TLG, each year in the July school holidays the College takes a group of our Senior School students to the Fitzroy Crossing to spend a week working with children in the remote schools.

 

As we are unable to send a group to Fitzroy this year, we will be hosting this event as a way for our students to get involved and help raise money for this worthy cause.

 

In My Blood It Runs follows the story of ten-year-old Dujuan who is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education.

 

The screening is being organised by our Certificate III in Events class and Mr Scott Corbett, Head of Catalyst: Centre for Service and Social Enterprise.

 

We would like to host an additional screening later in the year for parents and wider community members and will post an update at a later date. 

 

The trailer for In My Blood It Runs can be viewed below.
