AROUND THE COLLEGE

Last Friday the WHC First Nations student group went to the You Yangs for a team building excursion. We completed the East- West walk and visited the Bunjil (Creator of South-Eastern Australia) sculpture. The students walked a fair distance and did so with smiles, laughs and positive attitudes. Below is an interview about the excursion with Archie and John of year 8. 

Why did we go to the You Yangs?

Archie: Because we are all Indigenous students and we learned things about our culture.

John: We are Indigenous and we went to have fun and learn a few things about our culture we didn’t know before.

What did we do at the You Yangs?

Archie and John : First we walked a few of the tracks and west passed Bunjil (Creator of the South-Eastern Australia) and went back to where we started and played capture the emu eggs and hide and seek.

What was your favourite part of the You Yangs excursion? 

Archie and John: hanging out with friends, seeing the land marks and playing some games.

How do you feel about our First Nations student group? 

Archie: I feel really good about the people I’m in the group with. 

John: I really enjoy it and we get to do fun activities with each other.
