FIRE Carrier Induction - Cobblebank Campus

Last Thursday, seven Cobblebank Campus students were inducted as FIRE Carriers during NAIDOC Week celebrations.

FIRE stands for Friends Igniting Reconcilication through Education and these students are tasked with giving voice to the journey of Reconciliation at the College.

As FIRE Carriers they pledged to lay strong foundations in our school community to build respect, understanding and knowledge of our shared story that started more than 60,000 years ago and continues today. We know they will continue to build on the work of the FIRE Carriers who have come before them.

Throughout the ceremony, the students showed their commitment to Reconciliation and passion for learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. 

It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to be inducted in front of staff and students at our brand new campus and inspire their peers. 

I am look forward to collaborating with these great leaders.

A word from newly inducted Year 7 FIRE Carrier Gurnoor:

"I am really excited to be able to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, especially now that I am FIRE Carrier and can have a role in organising activities throughout my time at the College. It was fun being able to speak in front of my cohort and promote Indigenous culture."
