The Lake Lorne Mindfulness Walk

On Monday the 13th of August the Year 11 and 12 VCAL classes co-hosted the opening of The Lake Lorne Mindfulness Walk.

The current Year 12 class started working on this project halfway throughout last year, with help from City of Greater Geelong. The walk was launched at Lake Lorne and we met with some council members and a member from the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, who also performed a traditional welcome to country as well as local residents and City of Greater Geelong representatives.

We led the group around the lake and paused at all of the stops along the walk and explained and demonstrated the activities to everyone. We finished the walk and then went back undercover for some photos and for food that we had organised.

The Mindful Walk was a part of Personal Development, Literacy and Numeracy within the VCAL program here at Saint Ignatius and was a really positive experience where we worked alongside the wider community and in particular Amanda Stirrat from City of Greater Geelong.
