This NAIDOC Week, we stand together to recognise, celebrate and honour the strength, culture and enduring contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This year’s theme calls on all of us to listen, learn and walk alongside First Nations voices, acknowledging the past while committing to a shared future grounded in respect and connection.
At Saints College, this commitment is reflected in the actions we take every day. As part of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy 2026–2030, we are working to amplify First Nations voices, knowledges and perspectives across our 8 campuses. Our Koorie Culture Community at our Geelong campus continues to grow, delivering a school-wide program that supports First Nations young people and invites our whole community to find common ground through reconciliation.
This work strengthens connection, identity and belonging, ensuring all young people feel seen, valued and empowered. We continue to listen, learn and take action. Reconciliation is not a moment; it is a shared responsibility. 🌿

And that’s a wrap for Term 2 at Saints! 👏
Our Fitzroy North College hosted the Saints Showcase, an event that brought together our young people, staff and community to celebrate a semester of learning.
We enjoyed yummy snacks cooked by our Life Skills classes, LEGO robots from our STEM classes, art displays, music performances from our Creative Arts elective, and presentations from young people embarking on Extended Investigations of their chosen interests.
A wonderful way to close out the term and celebrate a semester of learning together. 🤝

When young people are given the space to create, incredible things happen. ✨
Young people from flexible learning settings across Australia recently came together at Bakehouse Studios in Melbourne for a special songwriting workshop, preparing original songs for performance at the Doing School Differently conference.
Delivered in collaboration with AAFIE, APRA SongMakers and Saints College, the workshop provided a unique opportunity for creativity, connection and skill-building. Participants were mentored by APRA SongMakers artists katie.with ton (All Our Exes Live in Texas), Jackson Phelan (RAT!hammock) and Jazz Johnston (Jeane), with additional support from AAFIE’s Dale Murray and Megan Hall, APRA’s Al Parkinson, and LWB’s Phi Theodoros.
SongMakers is an intensive program focused on the creative process, where prominent Australian songwriters and music producers` mentor young creatives to write and record original songs. The program creates valuable learning opportunities and access to industry professionals that may not otherwise be available, particularly in regional areas, resulting in the creation and performance of original songs. 🎶
Game on at North Melbourne! ⚽
Last week’s spontaneous staff and student match brought World Cup vibes and big energy at our North Melbourne campus.
Through sport and physical activity, we create safe, inclusive spaces for young people to get active, build relationships and feel a strong sense of belonging within their learning environment. It’s also a powerful way to support improved mood, self-regulation and focus. These moments are part of how we create fun, inclusive and accessible opportunities for young people across our campuses to stay engaged and connected throughout the school day.

Our North Melbourne campus participated in a powerful cultural art experience led by the Ngwala team for Reconciliation Week.
Young people and staff worked side by side to crush ochre, create paint and explore traditional symbol burning techniques, alongside conversations about symbolism and cultural history.
This collaborative artwork, now displayed in our front office, reflects shared learning, participation and the importance of creating space for First Nations knowledge and voices in our learning communities.

This Reconciliation Week, we’re celebrating culture, connection, and young voices.
KCC Spice Co. is a student led social enterprise created by our Koorie Cultural Community at our Geelong campus. Inspired by Country and created by young minds, each mix celebrates First Nations knowledge, creativity, and connection.
Inspired by Country and created by young minds, each blend tells a story:
🌶 Tex Mex Twist brings bold flavour with native spices
🍋 Lemon Pepperberry blends citrus brightness with a peppery kick
🌿 Dessert, Forest, Sea reflects the rich landscapes of Australia
These spices are more than flavour. They represent learning, cultural heritage and opportunity for ongoing commitment to learning together in a spirit of respect and reconciliation. Each packet has been designed and packed by our young people including the wood work.
These spice mixes raise funds for our young people’s projects while building real world skills and pride in culture.
Every purchase is a step toward reconciliation, supporting young creators and celebrating culture in action.
For more information on KCC Spice Co., or to buy some spices, visit our Geelong Campus.

Taste can be a powerful bridge between past and present.
This week, our Geelong campus brought culture to life through food, with a menu inspired by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ingredients and traditions.
For our young people, it was more than trying something new, it was about creating connection.
By creating opportunities to experience cultural foods, we open the door to healing, pride and
deeper understanding. 🌿

Today marks Eid, a culturally and spiritually significant day for many in our Saints College community.
We acknowledge and celebrate the cultural and faith identities of our staff and young people across all campuses. Inclusive education is central to who we are, and recognising days like today is one of the ways we build respectful, welcoming learning communities.
Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating!

Today is National Sorry Day.
This year’s theme, From Sorry to Action, marks 29 years since the Bringing Them Home report was tabled and reminds us that acknowledgement without action is not enough. Many of the report’s recommendations remain unmet, and time is running out for Stolen Generations survivors to see justice.
At Saints College, this day holds deep significance. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people learn across our campuses, and we recognise our responsibility to move beyond words, through listening, truth telling and action that supports healing, dignity and belonging.
As we move into National Reconciliation Week, guided by the theme All In, we’re reminded that reconciliation is a shared journey, requiring commitment from all of us.
More to come later this week, as we share the meaningful ways our campuses are marking this important time.

In celebration of Education Week in Victoria, we are excited to showcase the new STEM and LEGO Ed elective for our junior and middle years at our Fitzroy North campus. 👷🧰
LEGO is an incredible educational tool to support STEM, cars and critical, thinking, social skills and collaboration.
Here’s how our students are engaging with the program:
✅ Middle years students are working on AI and Computer Science skills through building and coding Battle Bots. 🤖
✅ Junior years students are embedding key science skills through the LEGO Ed Science kits to support tangible, hands on application of physics, chemistry, biology and design technology.
LEGO Ed provides teachers with incredible curriculum resources for facilitating deep learning while having fun, building and connecting with each other through play.
We’re excited to see where this initiative takes our young innovators next!

On IDAHOBIT Day, we stand in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ young people, advocating for their dignity, safety, and rights within our community and beyond.
Unconditional positive regard and radical inclusion are two of our educational philosophies that reflect our commitment to inclusive and supportive education that goes beyond classroom learning.
We proudly celebrated IDAHOBIT Day across our 8 campuses... here’s a snippet from our Geelong and North Melbourne campuses.

🎤Saints Got Talent!
On Friday, young people from across our campuses came together at @kindredstudios for our inaugural Saints Got Talent. It was the first time we’ve gathered in an offsite studio space, creating a powerful opportunity for our young people to meet, connect and build relationships with peers from different campuses.
Music has a unique way of bringing people together. Throughout the day, young people bonded over a shared passion for creativity, supported one another, and found connection through a universal language. With staff alongside them offering encouragement, fostering connection and creating a safe, supportive environment, young people were able to prepare, collaborate and step confidently into the moment.
The performances were streamed across campuses during Edmund Rice Founders Day, allowing our whole community to come together and celebrate the talent, effort and commitment of the young people involved.
What stood out most was the courage on display: young people backing themselves, supporting one another, and showing up with authenticity and pride.
We are incredibly proud of what they achieved on the day and the way they embodied connection, participation and community. 💛
