Dianella Secondary College recently welcomed a filming crew from the City of Stirling to showcase the impact of the college’s Aboriginal Cultural Learning Hub programs and garden initiatives as part of the City of Stirling’s Public Health Plan 2026–2031.
The filming highlighted student and staff participation in hands-on learning within the Maladjiny Dandjoo (Growing Together) Community Garden and the Yalkaranging Djet (Blossoming Flower) Native Garden. The visit captured learning experiences that promote cultural connection, sustainability, healthy living, community engagement and student wellbeing.
The City of Stirling’s Public Health Plan 2026–2031 has been informed by community input and the latest health data. The Plan focuses on three key priority areas: healthy, active communities; mentally healthy and socially connected communities; and safe and resilient communities. It also includes clear actions and measures to track progress and the impact of initiatives across the community.
Our garden initiatives are a great example of how partnerships between schools and the wider community can contribute to these priorities. Students have opportunities to develop practical skills, connect with culture and Country, learn about sustainable practices and participate in activities that support positive health and wellbeing.
These initiatives are supported through a City of Stirling Community Grant, which continues to enable the development and sustainability of these important learning spaces. The filming provided an opportunity to showcase the positive outcomes of this partnership and the role that the college’s Aboriginal Cultural Learning Hub plays in creating meaningful learning experiences for our students.
