WDHS proudly marked National Reconciliation Week with a meaningful and respectful gathering, bringing staff together to reflect on our shared commitment to reconciliation.
We welcomed Aunty Claudette, her daughter Stacey, and members of the Gunditjmara community who led a Smoking Ceremony on site. This important cultural practice provided an opportunity for cleansing, reflection, and connection, inviting us all to pause and consider our role in reconciliation.
Following the ceremony, staff gathered for afternoon tea, creating space for connection, conversation, and ongoing learning.
This year’s Reconciliation Week theme reminds us that reconciliation is not a one-off event, but a continuous journey - one that calls on all of us to be “all in.” It encourages us to learn from the past, act in the present, and work together toward a more respectful and inclusive future.
At WDHS, our commitment to reconciliation is reflected in the way we care for our community - by fostering cultural safety, strengthening relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and embedding respect and understanding into our everyday practice.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event so meaningful. ... See MoreSee Less
What a wonderful afternoon last Sunday! A big thank you to our incredibly talented musicians and soloists of the Hamilton Symphony Orchestra (HSO) for an unforgettable performance at Hamilton Pops.
Congratulations to Conductor Angus Christie and our MCs Leah Oswin and Rocco Causer for guiding such a fantastic program, and to everyone involved with the Hamilton Symphony Orchestra for bringing this event to life.
We are so grateful for the support of HSO Patron Barrie Aarons and Benefactor Ken Moore, along with the Robson family for their generous contribution.
A special thank you to Hamilton Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, and particularly their amazing congregation, for hosting us and donating such a delicious afternoon tea. We also thank St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and the WDHS Community Liaison Team for their support.
Thanks to your generosity, we are thrilled to share that $2,700 was raised for the WDHS Annual Appeal, supporting the purchase of a Magseed/Magtrace detection system. This vital technology will help improve breast cancer care locally, allowing more women to access accurate treatment closer to home.
Events like this showcase the strength, generosity and talent within our community—and we thank everyone who attended and supported the day. ... See MoreSee Less
