This term in Religion, our new Year 7 students are learning what it means to belong to our OLMC community. We have been studying our College values of courage, justice, compassion, and joy in our everyday lives and visiting some sacred spaces and artworks around the College. Students are commencing their first assessment on Belonging in their Religion classes.
Our Year 11 students have been studying Aboriginal Spirituality in Religion and Society. They have been blessed to have Aunty Shelley work with all Year 11 Religion classes to explore Indigenous Spirituality. Aunty Shelley Ware, a proud Yankunytjatjara and Wirangu woman from South Australia, is a teacher, a mum and a wife. She has been a trailblazer in Australian rules football broadcasting, breaking barriers as a commentator and presenter. As an Australian media personality, educator, and advocate, she is best known for her work in sports media and Indigenous education. Shelley is also a passionate advocate for First Nations voices, women in sport, and cultural education, regularly contributing to discussions on diversity and inclusion.
