More than 290 community members joined the Chewton Primary School’s second annual ‘Reconciliation Walk’ held over two days last week (June 1 and 2) from Chewton to Me-Mandook Galk, the Grandmother Tree.
This year Chewton Primary students were joined by students from Elphinstone, Newstead and Castlemaine Primary Schools and Castlemaine Secondary College, along with lots of people from the community.
There were video clips and storyboards showcasing the students’ learning about Reconciliation, Yoorook, Voice, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have been a voice for change for generations and the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
Walkers finished at Me Mandook Galk where they made a commitment to be a voice for positive change in their local community. Chewton Primary send a big thankyou to Kath Coff from Nalderun and Aunty Kerri Douglas which supported the school in this work.
