Wominjeka
About
Wominjeka, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung for welcome or ‘come, with purpose’, is a key event in the University’s calendar that signifies the start of the academic year.Wominjeka acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Custodians of the land where the Parkville campus is located. A local Wurundjeri elder will perform a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony to welcome new and returning students and staff back to campus.
Following the smoking ceremony a First Nations artist, Madi Colville-Walker, will perform and all students and staff can enjoy some native Australian flavoured ice-cream.
We encourage students and staff to attend this event and to take the opportunity to celebrate and reflect on our shared spaces and the ways in which we all contribute to the University community.
We also ask that you give thought on how you will ‘come, with purpose’ to the University this year, working and studying on the lands of its Traditional Custodians.
