Through their leadership, FIRE Carriers help bring our College values to life. Building understanding through shared learning, guiding cultural events and ceremonies, and strengthening ties with our local Aboriginal communities. Their work is grounded in the belief that education is not only about knowledge, but about identity, empathy, and connection. By nurturing these qualities, Padua College continues to grow as a place where diversity is celebrated, relationships are valued, and all students are encouraged to lead with respect and purpose.
Across Victoria, FIRE Carrier Schools are part of a network committed to embedding First Nations perspectives and cultural presence in all aspects of school life — not just as an add-on, but as a fundamental dimension of identity, relationships, and community.
