Students Join the 'Long Walk to the 'G'

On Friday, 22 May, a group of dedicated FIRE Carrier students proudly represented St Bernard’s College at the renowned ‘Long Walk to the G’.

This significant event draws inspiration from Michael Long’s historic Walk to Canberra, aiming to raise awareness and support for the health and life opportunities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Following the walk to the MCG, our students watched the iconic Dream Time match between Richmond and Essendon. This memorable experience was made possible thanks to the efforts of our dedicated staff and our valued partnership with the Essendon Football Club.

To be a FIRE Carrier is to exercise an important role at our school - these students have committed to learning about Aboriginal culture, and in the spirit of reconciliation, sharing this knowledge within and beyond the College community.

Thank you to Ms Novacek and Mr Lonsdale, for organising an amazing opportunity for our students to engage in meaningful advocacy and be part of a significant cultural event.
