LIFE OUT WEST IMMERSION UPDATE!
We were welcomed into the Wiradyuri Study Center and were greeted by an elder, Uncle Dick, and Marion, who gave us a tour of the centre, explaining the use and artwork in each room.
We took part in a lesson about Wiradyuri language, learning names of animals and common greetings. A quick recess break, then Aunty Bev Coe taught us the art of weaving baskets.
🌭 After a sausage sanga for lunch, world champion boomerang thrower Uncle Dick explained the brief history of boomerangs just before going out onto the field. Although windy, we were taught how to throw a boomerang and attempt to catch it. Ending our day at the center we took a drive to Gum Bend Lake exploring more of Condobolin.
🙏🍩 Feast Day Celebrations! 🍕☀️
Today we celebrated a Combined College Feast Day, honouring St Joseph and Mary of the Cross MacKillop – two inspiring figures who continue to guide our faith and values.
📿 The day began with a beautiful Feast Day Mass led by Fr Rosan, followed by a sweet donut morning tea shared in community. Students then took part in a range of reflective activities. 🍩
We wrapped up the day with a relaxed pizza lunch in the sun, enjoying friendship and gratitude for the blessings of our college community. 🍕
