Dear students and staff.
On Monday 26 of May, this year’s National Reconciliation week began.
National Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May to 3 June. This year’s theme is “Bridging now to next”, a reminder of the ongoing connection between past, present and
future. Throughout the week, there are a few small activities occurring to celebrate at Heathmont.
On Thursday, we will be showing the AFL documentary created to explore Michael Long’s walk to Canberra to fight for Indigenous rights. This will be happening in the HOPE Centre, and students are encouraged to come along and explore the impact Michael Long’s walk had, especially in the Sir Doug Nicholls round recently completed by the AFL.
On Friday, with the help of a number of student helpers, we are going to create a reconciliation wall mural. This will consist of completed colouring sheets and a group activity writing task. Many staff have copies of this mindfulness activity, and some may even use it as a brain break in class.
Thank you for your ongoing support for National Reconciliation week at Heathmont College.

Therapeutic group for junior students experiencing symptoms of anxiety. The group is designed to get students to explore the concept of anxiety, why we have it, what it is good for and how to manage it when it becomes overwhelming. The group will be facilitated by Yvette Larubina and Mel Yoffa, and will be held in the Wellbeing Space once a week for six weeks. There will be a max of eight students and will run for one period. |

Students will complete a self-guided tour of the Melbourne Immigration Museum. Students will complete a worksheet during their visit that they will need to submit as a Learning Task. Following our time at the Melbourne Immigration Museum, students will have some self-directed time where students will be required to stay in small groups and can experience aspects of the City of Melbourne. Students will be able to communicate with staff via mobile phone during this section of the excursion. |
Students need to meet at Heathmont Station by 8:35am (to catch an 8:51am train). Students will be dismissed when the train arrives at Ringwood Station (scheduled to arrive at 3:01pm). There is a small cost for this excursion as the Melbourne Immigration Museum charges schools a small fee for all school excursions. Students will need their own Myki card to catch the train. Students MUST travel tap on and students seen fare evading will likely be banned from future city excursions. Students will have the opportunity to purchase food/drink (with their own money) during this excursion. |
