NAIDOC Week - Melton Campus

Another fantastic NAIDOC Week was celebrated at the College last week. Events included a walkathon, staff morning tea, jewellery making, a lunchtime cooking class and our Great Book Swap that raised funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

Below are what students had to say about NAIDOC Week 2023:

"SFCC's celebration of NAIDOC Week was an amazing opportunity for us to learn about First Nations cultures and histories.

"The walkathon for Opening the Doors Foundation raised both funds and awareness to support educational opportunities for Aboriginal children.

"At the jewellery-making session, we were very lucky that local Elders, Auntie Charmaine, Auntie Rose and Emma could come and teach us their craft, using native and natural materials to make a range of different accessories

"NAIDOC Week reminds us to share our knowledge and learnings and promote reconciliation within and beyond the school community. - Alanis, Year 10

"NAIDOC Week was a lot of fun. I went to the jewellery-making class where we made Aboriginal jewellery with emu feathers and beads. I had an amazing time and learned a lot. I think NAIDOC week is something every school should take part in. - Erin, Year 9
