Indigenous inspiration for school project CARRUM Downs Secondary College has received grant funding to set up a native food garden and cultural meeting place. The school has received $4200 to complete the project from South East Water’s community grant program. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said that the native food garden will be Aboriginal-inspired, and that the new space will help students “cel-
ebrate and fundraise for future Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander initiatives.” “Supporting projects such as these, which have educational, environmental and cultural significance, helps to create an inclusive future where every student can thrive and contribute to the prosperity of their communities,” she said. South East Water managing director
Lara Olsen said “South East Water is proud to support this amazing project that will enhance the cultural identity, wellbeing and education of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in our community. We look forward to seeing the benefits of this project connecting students with Country.” Native plants for the project will be sourced from the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Bush Nursery.
