On Tuesday March 28, we launched the new Kindlehill Senior High School program, Buran Nalgarra \u2013 Strength & Learning Through Togetherness, at Mt Vic Flicks. The event was also the premiere screening of Michael Joy\u2019s documentary, A Murmuration<\/em>, and was a night of song, big ideas, and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests were greeted by musical performances from former-student Alina Caganoff singing her original songs outside the cinema, and year 9 student Ashoka Mostafa playing the cinema\u2019s piano inside. After a beautiful Welcome to Country from Uncle Lex, in which he shared the story and wisdom of the stringybark \u2013 the inspiration for the name of our Senior High School program \u2013 Lynn shared the vision for our small seed, radical-to-the-root, big idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Buran Nalgarra curriculum is built around Kindlehill\u2019s core commitment to social and ecological responsibility and takes inspiration from the Funds of Knowledge and Problems That Matter pedagogies: philosophies which recognise the value of purpose-driven, place-based learning that draws on the knowledge inherent in the community and engages students in addressing real world problems that matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Murmuration<\/em> tells the moving and inspiring story of Kindlehill\u2019s 2017 Healing Place, Healing Home <\/em>project and speaks to the impact we can have when creativity, community and education intersect. This story captures the spirit of taking our learning into the real world, which underpins our approach for Buran Nalgarra, and illustrates the opening of hearts and rewriting of stories that can occur when our learning is connected to a greater purpose. So, this moving and inspiring story, is a way to share our Senior School vision with something tangible. The response to the film was overwhelmingly positive \u2013 people were moved to laughter and tears and were excited to talk about where and how this kind of deep community collaboration can happen next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the screening, we were joined by Guinnie Randall and Olivia Wylde, alumni students who were part of the Healing Place, Healing Home<\/em> project and who treated us to a beautiful rendition of Sing You Brave People, <\/em>the song which wrapped up the Healing Place, Healing Home<\/em> performance and features in the documentary. Their sweet harmonies were the perfect place to rest for a moment after taking in the story of A Murmuration. <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was attended by representatives from many of the Blue Mountains\u2019 environmental, social justice, and community organisations, and marked the beginning of a conversation about how what they do as environmentalists, social justice advocates, community workers, and change makers can be invigorated by a connection to education that addresses the big and complex issues of our time in ways that engage and empower our young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rowe Morrow inspired us all with her clear and undeniable call for change in how we educate our young people and the need to place the environment and our relationship to place at the heart of everything that we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was night of big ideas and our audience walked out into the misty mountain air abuzz with ideas for how we can work together to create genuine and meaningful change in our community, excited and inspired to connect and collaborate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Murmuration <\/em>will be screened at Kindlehill in May, when we share our vision for Buran Nalgarra and the next step in the school\u2019s evolution with the school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
