As part of the Upskill Program, CGGS alumnae Amina Keegan (2024) and Ruby Rosas (2024) returned to lead a powerful session with the Year 8 cohort through the Indigenous Living Culture Service Learning program. They facilitated a ‘Tree of Life’ activity—an exercise inspired by the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School (MITS)—that encouraged students to explore their values, identity, and aspirations. Ruby began by sharing Aboriginal symbols and invited students to reflect on symbols from their own cultures, creating a rich and reflective learning experience. Their return as facilitators, having once completed the same activity as students, was a meaningful moment of cultural continuity and leadership.
This session formed a key part of the Year 8 Service Learning curriculum, which focuses on First Nations cultures and intergenerational learning. Amina and Ruby’s involvement, as members of the inaugural 2021 program, added depth and authenticity to the experience. Their presence not only celebrated their journey but also inspired current students to reflect on their own cultural identities and the shared values that build strong, respectful communities.
