Welcome to 2024 Community BBQ hosted by Saint Ignatius College

Welcome to 2024 Community BBQ hosted by Saint Ignatius College

Last week, Saint Ignatius College hosted the annual Welcome to 2024 Community BBQ. This is an opportunity for all First Nations students and families from the five Geelong Catholic Secondary Schools to celebrate the beginning of the new year as a community.

Students from Sacred Heart College, St. Joseph’s, Iona College and Clonard College joined our students and families on Thursday evening, enjoying a night of food, drinks and laughter. Students from all schools gathered to talk about their collective experiences, background and hopes for the future. These included participating in events scheduled on the calendar including Aspirations Day, Watta Watnanda Day, Naidoc Week activities and the Yarnda Wokka camp.

Our special guest speaker was Ms Helen Christensen, Aboriginal Education Officer, Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools who spoke to those gathered about opportunities and events during the year to learn culture, customs and language.

A great night for all involved
