As a Koorie Emerging Leaders in Schools (KEliS) school, Mordialloc College was part of a team that was awarded the Outstanding Koorie Education Team Award in this year’s Victorian Education Excellence Awards.

The KELiS program was developed in close collaboration with the Department of Education, the Victorian Aboriginal Education Association Incorporated and other schools in the Bayside Peninsula area. 

KELiS students are provided with the opportunity to connect with peers across local schools, enhance their cultural knowledge through collaboration with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, and be involved in a variety of projects, including organising NAIDOC and National Reconciliation Week events, and presenting at education and community forums.

A huge thank you to Alan Johnson (Koorie Engagement Support Officer) for taking the time to present this award to our school, we are really proud of the great work we have started to undertake at Mordialloc College.
