Indigenous Recognition Day

Saint Ignatius College Indigenous Recognition Day

On Thursday 4th of November, we will be holding our second Indigenous Recognition Day, a now annual event. This day is to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, and to raise awareness for some of the many injustices Indigenous Australians continue to fight.

Last year, Sacred Heart College joined us by holding their own event on the same day as us, which they called Unity Day. This was an incredible moment of solidarity during the height of uncertainty during Covid-19.

Students are encouraged to wear casual clothes including a black t-shirt and make a gold coin donation in support of the Opening The Doors Foundation.
