We were very privileged this year to be invited to participate in the Worowa Dreaming Ball on Saturday 8 September. Five of our Year 11 boys partnered girls from Worowa Aboriginal College in Healesville. The boys were Tim Carrington, Charlton Pettigrew, Matthew Gamble, Liam Charles and Jack Woodard.
After a number of weeks of dance training and social events, the Ball took place at the Grand Ballroom of Pullman on the Park in Melbourne. The girls were presented to Elders as young people who had completed the Pathways to Womanhood Program. These young men and women looked beautiful and did a wonderful job, skilfully presenting the dances they had learned. The hard work and preparation certainly paid off.
It was a privilege working with our students, the girls and the staff from Worowa and the boys from Mt Evelyn Christian School. Mr Morison and I attended the Ball and enjoyed a wonderful night of entertainment from guests, including students from the Aboriginal Centre for Performing Arts and Yorta Yorta musicians. We look forward to continued relations with Worowa.
