Year 10 Reflection Day 2025 Report

The Year 10 Reflection Day was held on Tuesday 17 June, and was an opportunity for students to step back from the daily routines and hum of their lives, and enjoy a time for pause and reflection.  The day was hosted in the College Theatre by Yorta Yorta musician, Scott Darlow. Scott once again engaged students with his music, storytelling and student-centred discussions. Scott has a heart for Reconciliation and spoke candidly about historical injustices and what positive action looks like for students, as people of Mercy.

In these conversations, students were able to recognise their own areas for growth, using the acronym FLUTE (Forgiveness, Love, Understanding, Tolerance and Empathy) and to appreciate all that they have in their lives.

Students then spent the afternoon in small teacher-led groups, unpacking what they took away from the day, writing in their reflection booklets, and creating a hand of Mercy, which will be displayed around the College.

Here are some student reflections:
It was captivating to hear about Scott’s experiences and life story, I thought it was excellent because it gave me insight to the ongoing racism within Australia towards Indigenous people and other cultures.   -  Justin F
Having an insight to Scott’s experiences was a big reality check and was pretty challenging. He connected with the audience on a deep level and wasn’t afraid to make a point just because we were students. We came away with valuable lessons to build on our values.  -  Dylan B

Thank you to the Year 10 staff who also made the day possible.
