It is an honour to showcase our jarjums taking pride in their culture. St John Vianney's Lana Radley was selected as a Top 10 winner in the School Reconciliation Challenge for 2025.

Lana will be presented with her certificate and prize in 2 weeks time at the Australian Museum. Below is her submission:

"Uluru is back in the hands of the traditional Aboriginal people. They fought for Uluru and won, it’s part of their history, a sacred place. The yarning circle is where Aboriginal people gather to share culture over history through dreaming, songlines, and Elders sharing their stories. We listen to them, learn from them and are prepared to past these down to our generation too. As a proud Aboriginal girl, I feel proud of my history and happily share with others.

Reconciliation means to me as a Aboriginal person, is for people to accept us, understand us, and our culture. In Australia we want people to be united and forgive on another. Listen to them, learn from them, and are prepared to past these claim to our generations too."

Day 3- Last week we had the honour of having Kevin Bloomfield and Shad Tyler show us the ropes in creating fire, making dilly bags and even showing the men how to make woomeras. Hope the staff involved were able to take this cultural knowledge back into their everyday work in their own schools.
