KCHS Indigenous Flag KCHS and our school council have installed a new flag pole to proudly fly the indigenous flag. This is an important acknowledgement of the original inhabitants of our country. It is also an opportunity for our students to embrace indigenous culture into our curriculum studies, and to live a core school value of respect and respectful relationships. ART & Radio Project Students' Art work (with the support of Toni and Brett) has been fantastic throughout 2016. The creative process at our school is constantly evolving and we offer our students opportunity to explore different medians. As part of the Art programme students were actively invovled in a community Radio project at Syn FM at RMIT. |
