St Gregory’s College Campbelltown 2024 Report
Matthew Brennan, Principal
St Gregory’s is extremely proud of our Indigenous Programme and is passionate about the success of our Indigenous students. Over 90 students, both day and boarding, identify themselves as Indigenous. Our Indigenous boarders come from far and wide, all bringing their talents and personalities that significantly add to the fabric of our entire school community. Some possess an outstanding sporting ability, including numerous National representations and also at State level. Some of our Indigenous boys are leading the way in social justice initiatives whilst all are achieving much academic success.
The College celebrates Indigenous culture at numerous whole school events throughout the calendar year with Harmony Day and our NAIDOC Assembly the highlights. The boys have also had wonderful cultural opportunities performing at the College and at the local art gallery both music and dance.
A highlight this year was one of our students being invited to give the Acknowledgement of Country for the Australian Economic Outlook Convention, attended by the Prime Minister and receiving national coverage.
The work of our First Nations Liaison Officer, Mr Shaun Humphries, has undertaken has been phenomenal this year. The extra support and opportunities, in collaboration with AIEF, has ensured our students are connected back to culture and looking to thrive in today’s society.
St Gregory’s is very proud to have a long and strong association with AIEF and see the wonderful benefits for our students. In partnership, the horizon continues to look bright.
