Students and staff at Warragul Regional College came together on May 30 to honour National Reconciliation Week with a vibrant school-wide celebration that blended fun activities with meaningful dialogue.
The event featured a variety of engaging experiences, including face painting, hair braiding, colouring-in, student DJs, and the popular lolly jar guessing game.
While the atmosphere was light-hearted and festive, the day served a deeper purpose in fostering reflection, education, and conversation around reconciliation and the ongoing journey towards unity.
All funds raised during the day were donated to support the college's Koorie programs, which aim to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, perspectives, and support services into everyday school life.
The college described the event as "a day full of fun, connection and conversation," and thanked the entire school community for their enthusiastic participation.
