The Turrbal People

The Turrbal people were one of the original Australian inhabitancies that lived Brisbane and southeast Queensland before the European settlement in 1825. When the Europeans came, they gave the Turrbal people the nickname ‘Duke of Yorks Clan’. There were two European explorers, Oxley and Cunningham that met some members of the Turrbal people at the mouth of Breakfast Creek in 1824. That was where some of the Europeans were staying at the time, this was the first time the Europeans and the Turrbal people met. The Turrbal people were fisherman and lived off the Brisbane River. Later on, when Tom Petrie was just a small boy in the 1850s, he observed a large gathering of Turrbal people at Roma Street. It was the largest gathering by aboriginals due to the expansion of Brisbane. By 1900s most were forced to move to missions outside of Brisbane.

My First Impression of MSM

Before I came to MSM I was so worried that I wouldn’t like it, or that I wouldn’t fit in. On the first day I was prepared to just stick to my friends, but that idea stopped as soon as my friends and I were put into different classes. I was astonished with the way everyone was welcomed, and how they were all in the same boat as me. I've made so many friends since then, and there has been so many great moments. For example in just the second week, the year coordinators launched the new POS ED program , there was dancing, singing, clapping, it was great. And then there was the new theme for the year launched by the year 12s, “We can be heroes!”

My favourite subjects are: Dance; Drama; SOSE and POS ED.

I am having so much fun at MSM, it’s the best school ever! :)
