North Geelong Secondary College
Ella GEORGE (Lara) (10:12): Last Friday was the annual multicultural festival at North Geelong Secondary College. This event is a highlight in my calendar each year, as I know it is right across the community, and this year was no exception. North Geelong Secondary College prides itself on being home to a vibrant multicultural community. The day was filled with joy and pride as our community came together to celebrate one another’s cultural heritage with music, dancing and food. It was a showcase of the vibrant and thriving community at North Geelong, and it is not hard to see that North Geelong Secondary is enriched by the collective experiences of diverse communities. Congratulations to principal Paul Dawson and all of the staff and student leaders who organised this incredible event, and a special shout-out to all the year 12s involved, and good luck for your exams.
While there I also had the opportunity to stop by their human library project and hear stories from students Abi and Sina about their journey to Australia as refugees. Thank you to Abi and Sina for sharing that with me.
