Gymnasium Mural

Jan 15, 2023

During the holidays our gymnasium underwent a much needed and very overdue facelift. Mural and tattoo artist Hayden Wolfe and our very own Jeremiah Daniels Pepperill worked throughout the two week holiday break to transform our gymnasium, painting a 110m mural across all four walls. The mural features some Australian sporting legends; Patty Mills, Sam Kerr, Adam Goodes and Taliqua Clancy, and a cultural story designed and painted by Jeremiah. The new art makes the space feel colourful, light and vibrant. Both students and staff are in awe of the work Hayden and Jeremiah were able to complete in such a short amount of time and the mural is something that will be appreciated for many years to come. Thanks to Hayden for the massive amount of work put in by him and the professional product he delivered, and to Jeremiah for coming in during the school holidays to help Hayden and learn some mural art skills.

 As our partnership with REPCO continues, Local Area Manager Michael Ryan performed a walk through in our work shop to complete an OH&S audit in the last week of Term 1 2024. He identified inadequate lighting as well as the need for a Mounted First Aid kit . With the approval of the Principal Ms Alford, we have since been in contact with St Johns who will be supplying a First Aid Kit in week 2. Mr Ryan has also donated $800.00 worth of LED lighting to be installed by CKS Electric. On behalf of all the Students we want to say thankyou to the support of the College Leadership team for their vision and Mr Ryan for his passion and commitment to the VROOM project. “All students should do VROOM as it helps us become independent young adults…”- Oliver [Current VROOM student]

The objectives of Gudjela are to advance the education, mental and physical health, and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and youth in rural and remote areas of Australia. An inclusive, cultural, trauma-informed and strength-based approach will be used to build capacity in communities. Site-specific programs and strategies will be developed in collaboration and partnership with Elders, local community members, relevant organisations, and other services (Indigenous organisations, local shires/councils and health, education, and sporting services). It will underpin the design and delivery of programs to acknowledge and cater for the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s cultures, needs and contexts. To achieve these objectives Gudjela has designed specialist units. The units include Music, Art, Sport, Mindfulness (through Music/Sound Therapy) and combinations of the primary units. These units can either span the length of a school day/s, week/s or over a term (10 weeks). As a not-for-profit organisation, all funds and sponsorship arrangements will be used to advance the objectives of Gudjela. Program cost is relative to the number of program participants, the length of time in community and the distance from Gudjela’s Operations Office (Mparntwe. NT 0870). Each unit uses a site-specific, trauma & culturally relevant approaches to teaching and learning based on the needs of communities and schools guided by Elders. Gudjela’s pillars (Empathy, Respect, Learning, Compassion, Integrity and Discipline) will inform program practice. Gudjela uses a unique blend of sound therapy, music and sound innovation, Aboriginal art creation and sport, combined with trauma-informed lived experience and Aboriginal learning processes to guide and support the growth and development of students.
