Holy Cross Catholic School Kincumber was strongly represented at the local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG) awards night. The awards consisted of recognition in the three categories of outstanding academic achievement, sporting achievement and community participation.
The AECG is a state wide not for profit organisation which ensures that Aboriginal Education continues to be represented in our schools and learning institutions. As a voluntary organisation, their main role is to promote active participation by Aboriginal people in the consultative and decision making process of education.
Holy Cross were proudly nominated for awards in all 3 categories and against strong competition, from both primary and high schools in the local area, the school managed to take out all three categories!
