Year A students at Churchill attended an Indigenous health cultural day in March organised by the Indigenous Health Unit at MUDRIH.
The morning was devoted to the cultural safety training program facilitated by Hilton Gruis and Phil Perry. At the end of the session, all participants received a certificate.
The afternoon session was devoted to ‘question time’. Key individuals and Elders from the local Aboriginal community took questions from the students. The session went on for about two hours and students were able to ask what they always wanted to know but were hitherto shy to ask! Students found the sessions very informative and the discussions were lively. At the end of the session, students were seen gathered in groups around the Aboriginal Elders to further clarify their doubts and share experiences.
