The Mirragin Program is a program for First Nations students at Lourdes Hill College. Our First Nations students from Years 5 - 12 have cultural connections to over 37 communities throughout Australia.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support our First Nations students in exploring and embracing their cultural identity. We recognise this responsibility as an essential part of the College’s commitment to reconciliation and healing.

Mirragin, meaning 'star' in the local language, offers students opportunities to connect with their cultural identity in authentic and meaningful ways. With a focus on fostering a sense of belonging, we provide pastoral care and social activities through our fortnightly lunchtime meetings, along with academic support to help students achieve their potential.

Mirragin provides:

• Cultural immersions
• Opportunities to connect with their cultural identity
• Fortnightly gatherings for support and community

The Mirragin Program offers students opportunities to connect to their cultural identity in authentic and meaningful ways. With a focus on a sense of belonging we offer pastoral care and social activities via our fortnightly lunchtime meetings, as well as academic support to assist students in achieving their full potential.

Lourdes Hill College is also committed to building strong relationships outside our College community with organisations such as QATSIF, Indigenous Veterans Affairs, the Indigenous Constitutional Convention and Santa Teresa - a remote Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory.

On entering LHC all First Nations students receive a special Mirragin badge. The star is on a background of mottled purple, our College colour, reflecting the traditional splatter painting method. Around the central circle, we see eight smaller circles representing the eight Houses of our LHC community. Together they form a star.
