Wominjeka! 

On this very day, exactly two years ago, the Indigenous Garden was officially opened by Smoking Ceremony and Welcome to Country by Aunty Zeta Thomson. We remain very proud of our Indigenous Garden, depicting Bunjil the Eagle, the Rainbow Serpent and celebrating the First Nations peoples of this country. 

Designer:                     Simone Thomson

Sculptor:                      Rob Bast

Officially Opened:    28th March 2022 

Today, we have installed a plaque to commemorate the day. The plaque includes a QR code to provide people with information on the Indigenous Garden and ceremony. The QR code links people here. Thanks must go to Harry Brown for making the plaque and to Kevin Patterson & Dan Webster for installing it. 

Looking ahead, we have some extremely exciting projects coming up. Including the construction of a Gathering Circle and designs of Indigenous Artwork for each of the Houses - each depicting local fauna and flora. Both will be designed by Simone Thomson. We will also continue to support our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and look forward to Yarning Circles, Deadly Tukka and Journey Tracks.

If anyone has any questions, comments or would just like a yarn, we would love for you to reach out.
