Celebrating the life of Uncle Graham Dillon.

This week the Gold Coast Community including Palm Beach Currumbin SHS will honour the memory of respected Indigenous Elder, Uncle Graham Dillon. Uncle Graham passed away in his sleep on Saturday night at the age of 90.

Uncle Graham was a regular attender and speaker at NAIDOC activities at PBC. In addition, Uncle Graham, supported the school in its goal to improve the education and life outcomes for Indigenous and non-indigenous students alike. Uncle Graham, of the Kombumerri Ngarang-Wal Saltwater People achieved much in his life including a Doctorate from Griffith University and being awarded an Order of Australia Medal.

When Uncle Graham spoke to the students and staff at PBC, it was impressive to see how all 2800 people in attendance would listen.

The school will be guided by the wishes of the Indigenous Community in communicating and working with the Indigenous students and staff this week around sorry business.
