RECONCILIATION WEEK

Be A Voice For Generations

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. This year, our students embarked on various activities, including: designing and painting “walking together” footprints for the College from large vinyl (kindly donated by Trevor Carpets) an Excursion to BG&E with a dance and presentation by FTD students for all BG&E Staff a lunch time jam session with peace/love/reconciliation songs participating in the Walk for Reconciliation at beautiful Kaarta Koomba (Kings Park) with thousands of people to connect to Boodja and celebrate the living Noongar culture. an excursion to Visagio to participate in an art project with Noongar artist, Linda Lee Loo, and Visagio Staff.

PRIDE MONTH POP-UP

Q-mmunity’s first official event, “Pride Month Pop-Up”, was a huge success! As a group, Q-mmunity decided that it was important to celebrate Pride Month and honour the 1969 Stonewall riots. With celebrations worldwide that include pride parades, parties, workshops, concerts and picnics, Pride Month is a time for each individual to be proud of who they are and the unique offerings they bring to the world.

With two progress pride flags hanging in the school foyer, and a rainbow banner reading “Happy Pride Month,” Q-mmunity members proudly celebrated the diverse identities of our student body. They set up three bright, rainbow-themed stations, and shared the fun with our students and staff, who stunned with their face-paint, temporary tattoos, and polished nails.

Q-mmunity members did a fantastic job running the event! We are excited for future events run by Q-mmunity and acknowledge the power of visibility, connection, and pride.
