Indigenous Students at Watta Watanda Day

Students and staff travelled to Richmond Football Club on Friday 19 August to take part in the Watta Watnanda Day organised by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools where they enjoyed Indigenous art and cultural activities, listened to guest speakers and got the chance to watch a training session in Tigerland.

The day was supported by Australian Catholic University and the club’s Korin Gamadji Institute. Our students made traditional possum skin wristbands and created Aboriginal tile art.

Year 12 student and FIRE Carrier Nicholas was asked about the significance of the day and his responses featured in an article on the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools website last week. You can click here to read the full story.
