Students involved in a peer mentoring project at Sunbury College will be part of an event aimed at creating better connections between the indigenous community and local health and support services.
Food, cultural activities and information stalls will be part of Ngawan Aboriginal Group’s second annual Healthy, Happy, Deadly event this Wednesday. Sunbury Community Health Aboriginal engagement officer Gail Radford is expecting more than 200 people.
‘‘It’s about getting among the Aboriginal community and letting them know the things on offer, but it’s also about creating more awareness in the general community of our local indigenous population,’’ she says.
On offer at Sunbury Memorial Hall from 11am-3pm will be live music, dancing, a children’s play area, boomerang painting, crafts, and viewing – from a safe distance – of a live crocodile and other native reptiles.
