Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (09:42): On Friday I had the joy of attending the Worawa Aboriginal College Debutante Dreaming ball in the school’s 40th year. Twelve senior Worawa students were presented to elders. It is an important milestone in the Worawa Aboriginal community which prepares young women to walk in both worlds. Debutantes were accompanied by students from Mount Lilydale Mercy College, all of whom excelled themselves and enjoyed the night. Congratulations, and all the best to Tanya Peeler in her relatively new role as principal of Worawa Aboriginal College. I know she will do a tremendous job, and she certainly has big shoes to fill. It is a great school, and more people need to hear about Worawa.
