Roxburgh College

Yesterday, our school welcomed parents who shared their experiences as refugees. Many staff were in attendance and some delicious food was shared.

The school community has been celebrating and acknowledging Refugee Week 2026 through library activities, lessons and the airing of cultural music across the school all week.

It has been a valuable opportunity for the students to learn and share.
