First Nations Leadership Group

Every fortnight one of our First Nations Leadership students receives an attendance award. This fortnight our award has been awarded to year 7 student Azalea Sullivan. Azalea has worked to maintain her attendance this term. Azalea is the recipient of our First Nations Leadership attendance award. Great work Azalea! 

Over the last couple of weeks we have been working with the Settlement. During our first week the students worked on creating journals which we were able to reflect on our previous week. During our second week our students were sharing who their mob is and where their families come from. We marked it on an Aboriginal Australia Map.

We are very proud of our year 11 student Jydah Golding who has recently successfully completed her White Card Training course. Congratulations Jydah!

On the 9th of March we held our International Women’s Day event alongside the other Leadership Groups within our school. The students attended a panel of guest speakers who spoke about the importance of International Women’s Day, and the successes they have had in their chosen fields. We then had Tuakana, Tully, Allira, Esme and Azalea share the importance of women in Aboriginal communities and families. They also shared Cathy Freeman’s story and how she is an inspiration to many young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls. At lunch time we held a weaving workshop where we had Aunty Alana come in and teach us how to weave bracelets. We also had members of staff from EPIC Pathways join and support us.
