In 2021, Culture club is a lunchtime club run every Thursday for students that aims to celebrate and understand the different cultures we have within Cranbourne East and the wider community. Culture club is currently working on an art display that focuses on celebrating Indigenous culture. The students are proudly working on this art piece which will be displayed within the school. All students and staff are welcome. Mrs Fulton and Miss Binnion. 

The purpose of the Culture Club (formally known as Indigenous Art Club) is to increase the understanding and respect of Indigenous and Torres Strait Island culture, as well, as other cultures in our multicultural school community.

Students of the club in 2017 participated in lessons and activities that had a STEAM design where they learnt about the Six Indigenous Seasons and how the Aboriginal people respectfully interacted with nature and the climate around them.

A follow up activity by the students was to create a large mosaic that displayed these seasons. The completion of this mosaic would not have been possible if interested students did not volunteer their time during lunchtimes, so a big congratulations to those students for their dedication and hard work.

The club since then has evolved into a multi-discipline collaboration within our school community, where students across all year levels, as well as, students within the club would regularly participate in activities that encompass the notion of respect to Aboriginal and other cultures.

In 2018, Year 9 students learning about Aboriginal Art and the club students went to the Koorie Heritage Trust in the city and the Royal Botanical Gardens of Cranbourne and participated in their learning walks; the Birrarung Wilam (River Camp) Walk and the ‘Shared Country’ walk.

In 2019, the club collaborated with the Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School and participated in their NAIDOC week celebrations, as well as, create the Multicultural Cuisines display in the orange building.

To help build students’ confidence and support systems at Cranbourne East Secondary College, the ‘Diversity Club’ was created in 2015 with great success. Diversity Club is a lunchtime meeting where students discuss current issues, LGBTQIA news and many other interesting things! It is a teacher supervised safe space for students of all genders and sexualities.

In 2020, Diversity Club participated in the 25th annual Midsumma Pride March, marking Cranbourne East Secondary College’s second year of participation in this event.

Cranbourne East Secondary College is a member of the Safe Schools Coalition. This is to ensure that students are comfortable to be themselves within our school and feel as though our school is a safe place for them. Safe Schools Coalition is a fantastic collection of organisations and schools who work together to ensure students and families who are same-sex attracted, intersex and gender diverse feel included within the school community.
