STUDENTS from Mt St Bernard College in Herberton celebrated Reconciliation Week in style, with music and dancing.
The college celebrated its diversity during the week, with music students learning the song “From Little Things Big Things Grow” by Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody, which is the official song for National Reconciliation Week.
They performed the song at the Better Together Community Support Tablelands event which reflected on a day of unity and at the college’s reconciliation event.
The college also reflected on this year’s theme at its weekly assembly, then held a special event during which the whole school spoke an Acknowledgement to Country, students sang the official song and performed their cultural dances.
The school gave its thanks Aunty Lillian Freeman for her Welcome to Country, Aunty Desley Mosquito for attending and assisting the college with the development of the college’s Reconciliation Plan, many Jirrbal families, and the Gooliwana Bana dancers.
