Administrators’ Message
Chair of Administrators Ailsa Fox attended
the launch of the Ice Action Film, by Killer Pig
Productions and The Centre VCAL students last
weekend at Wangaratta Cinema.
The film is essential viewing for Wangaratta families,
showing how easily people can get sucked in to
taking the drug ice.
It showed the impact that the drug Ice is having
on regional communities from the perspective of a
young person.
It was a great initiative from The Centre and was
thoughtfully executed by the filmmakers.
The screening on Saturday was a sell out and

We would like to congratulate all those involved in
the successful launch of the Bullawah Trail and Down
by the River last week.
The Bullawah Trail was two years in the making and it
was not without its challenges, including flooding and
very disappointing vandalism.
But the launch itself was a celebration of our
Indigenous culture, led by Coby Brock, who did an
excellent job as the emcee. Uncle Freddie Dowling
played some heartfelt songs and the Bangerang
dancers’ performance was also excellent.
Bullawah celebrations blended into Down by the
River, with another performance by the Bangerang
dancers, and a rock carving demonstration by
artists Chris Thorne.
Down by the River was well attended yet again, and
serves as an example of what can be achieved in
the Ovens Riverside Precinct
and Apex Park.
