Anniversary of The National Apology

On February 13th we, as a College, celebrated the anniversary of The National Apology.

Students watched The National Apology on the big screen and showed their support by wearing the Aboriginal colours on their shoelaces; an activity we planned as part of our KSC Aboriginal Bead Project.

Youth in Partnership

Kirrip and Edmund Rice Services Mt. Atkinson have partnered together to design and deliver a new cultural program for all school-aged Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth living in and around the City of Melton called Youth in Partnership.

They will meet weekly to increase connection to culture, provide opportunities for leadership development and connect with local Elders and Aboriginal professionals who will run cultural activities.

Following current COVID-19 guidelines for gatherings, all attendees over the age of 12 are required to be fully vaccinated to attend the Youth In Partnership program. (Info from website)
