NEWS FROM GOOROON
WAMINDA
On Thursday the 29th of February our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students were involved in The Bulwul Balaang Program for women hosted by Waminda. We completed a Mirriral Bulwul strong spirit workshop which focused on self reflection and identity. Overall, the girls were in high spirits connecting to culture and each other as well as making new friendships. We would like to specially thank Aunty Joe, Blanche and Marle for providing this opportunity for our students.
YOUTH ADVISORY MEETING - SHOALHAVEN CITY COUNCIL
On Wednesday the 28th of March, We (Tyne Weller, Georgia Szymoniczek and Lachlyn Bisat) attended the Youth Advisory Committee Meeting held at the Shoalhaven City Council. This forum provides a voice for local youth for council. In our first meeting we discussed an overview of the committee and its terms of reference. We compiled a chart of youth concerns in our area including environmental and mental health. I found it to be informative and I am looking forward to our next meeting.
