Activists in Melbourne rallied on March 16 to save Ballerrt Mooroop College, Melbourne’s only Aboriginal specialist school. In the past fortnight, the education department expelled all the students, demolished some school buildings and is now claiming the school is "unviable".
The other three Aboriginal specialist schools in Victoria are also under threat from this decision.
Barbara Williams Weston, from the Save Ballerrt Mooroop College campaign said: "Our children at Ballerrt Mooroop have been bullied and used and abused. They deserve a hell of a lot more than they have been given.”
Further actions are planned this week. For campaign updates, please visit http://ballerrtmooroop.org
