The Year 10s were fortunate to have Aboriginal Elder Murrundindi come to MLMC to address them on Tuesday 12 February. Murrundindi is the Ngurungaeta (head man) of the Wurundjeri tribe and the great-great nephew of William Barak, after whom the senior campus of the College was named.
Murrundindi welcomed students to the Barak Campus and spoke of the Indigenous history of the local area as well as Barak’s life and the strong values he held. He also entertained the crowd with a brief performance on the digeridoo. Key messages for the students included: “It’s time to step up,” “Never put a person down” and “Always show respect”.
These are certainly valuable words for our Year 10 students to take forward with them as they embark on their senior school journey.
