Cultural Ceremony Marks Start of Earthworks and Construction at Roseville College

Ms Prentis partners with Roseville College in the work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and Reconciliation, sharing a message of Reconciliaton as friendship. She joined guests of Taylor and Roseville College including Roseville College Principal, Ms Deb Magill, past-Principal and Council member, Mrs Elaine Collin, and student leaders from Junior and Senior school, along with Taylor attendees.

This modest yet important ceremony saw Roseville College and Taylor mark a major milestone in the development of the College’s Sport and Wellbeing Centre. Cultural engagement marked the start of bulk earthworks and construction, with Roseville College students given a rare opportunity to gain first-hand insights into an active construction site.

Listening to and being led by an Aboriginal person and friend sharing about the significance of Country to Aboriginal peoples before digging the soil was deeply sincere and moving.

Ms Prentis spoke of the true history of “these lands now called Australia” and how we all can, and must, participate in Reconciliation with “truth, justice, love, and hope”.
