During National Reconciliation Week, the Indigenous Student Interschool Program will bring together Indigenous students from local secondary schools for a day of shared learning, cultural connection and peer engagement at Science Gallery Melbourne.

Students will participate in Indigenous-led workshops and facilitated discussions exploring Indigenous knowledge systems, innovation, leadership and kinship. The program will provide opportunities for students to connect with peers from other schools, strengthening networks and fostering a sense of belonging within a broader community of young Indigenous learners.
