Refugee Week: Capoeira Workshop

Last week, the Diploma of Community Services (DCS) class under Sabina Harrouk attended a vibrant Capoeira Workshop as part of Refugee Week.

Through Brazilian music, dance, movement, and traditional instruments, students experienced how culture, creativity, and community can bring people together and promote inclusion. The workshop highlighted the resilience and strength of people from refugee backgrounds while celebrating the diversity that enriches our communities.

Participating in the activities encouraged respect for different cultures, strengthened social connections, and reinforced the importance of creating welcoming and inclusive environments. It was a valuable learning experience that enhanced students' understanding of cultural diversity, social inclusion, and community engagement—key principles in the community services sector.

Thank you to the organisers and facilitators for providing such an engaging and meaningful experience for our students.

🌿 Educational Field Trip – Cockatoo Island 🌿

Our Diploma of Community Services students recently visited Cockatoo Island as part of the unit Promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Safety led by Trainer Nazia.

Students engaged in cultural activities including traditional music, dance, storytelling, Aboriginal-inspired painting, and group discussions focused on respect, inclusion, and culturally safe practices in community services.

This meaningful experience encouraged deeper understanding, reflection, and appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and connections to Country. 💛🖤❤️

In celebration of International Women's Day on 8 March, the Diploma of Community Services (DCS) class under Miss Nazia created meaningful artworks showcasing inspiring women and their remarkable achievements.

Through their crafts, students highlighted influential women from different fields who have made a lasting impact on society. Each portrait represents strength, resilience, leadership, and the power of women to inspire change in our communities. 💜
