On Monday 18 September, the College was lucky enough to welcome The Honorable Tony Smith MHR Federal Member for Casey, who presented us with three flags to be raised outside Dublin House on our brand new flag poles - an Australian flag, an Australian Aboriginal flag, and the Torres Strait Islanders flag.
The ceremony consisted of Miss Keogh welcoming our guests to Mount Lilydale, followed by the raising of the flags individually by student representatives. Miss Keogh spoke about the importance of Reconciliation not just in words but in our actions and what can be achieved when we all work together.
Jackie Wandin then spoke about the Aboriginal community and their flag and the ways in which they live their lives through their teachings and community.
It was a very special ceremony as it represented the many lands that come together to make up our great nation and to always remember that our land belongs to the Wurundjeri people who are the traditional custodians of this land.
