Fourteen schools around Victoria to be given Indigenous-language names
The Victorian government will announce today that 14 new government schools and kindergartens opening next year around the state will be given Indigenous-language names drawn from the local area in which they’re located.
The names of the schools and kindergartens include words from Woi-wurrung, Bunurong and Wadawurrung languages, drawn from about 700 suggestions.
They include Yarrabing secondary college in Aintree, from the Woi-wurrung word meaning “white gum”, Laa Yulta primary school in Black Forest, from the Wadawurrung word meaning “many stones”, and Brinbeal secondary college in Riverdale, from the Bunurong word meaning “rainbow”.
The education minister, Natalie Hutchins, said in a statement:
These 14 new schools will ensure growing communities have a great local education for their kids and a unique connection to the land through their Indigenous names.
Ingrid Stitt, minister for early childhood and pre-prep, said:
We are so proud that our new kinder names reflect the land that they are on – and help our littlest learners understand the role First Nations Victorians play in our heritage and history.

Sonia Kruger says she was surprised to win Gold Logie
Nobody was expecting television presenter Sonia Kruger to win the Gold Logie, especially not Kruger herself.
“I cannot believe that, I have to compose myself, I’m not used to being on TV,” she joked.

The host of The Voice, Dancing with the Stars and Big Brother beat favourite Hamish Blake, who had been expected to take out his third gold.
Another big winner was offbeat comedy Colin from Accounts by husband-and-wife team Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, which won three Logies.
The series won most outstanding comedy, while most outstanding actress went to Dyer and most outstanding actor to Brammall.
There were some other upset wins too, with well-known performer Amy Shark taking home most popular new talent for her role on Australian Idol.
Most outstanding children’s program went to ABC’s Crazy Fun Park, beating global juggernaut Bluey.
The awards were held in Sydney for the first time in 37 years, with comedian Sam Pang the first solo Logies host in more than a decade.
