McK Respect Community Walk and Footy Match

On September 12, our McK Respect Community Walk and Footy Match brought together families, students, staff, alumni, community organisations, the Department of Education, and the Glen Eira–Old McKinnon Football Club. Together, we took a stand against gender-based violence and showed our commitment to respect, equality, and community.

Together, we took a stand against gender-based violence and showed our commitment to respect, equality, and community. Each of the 16 laps connected us to the United Nations’ 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence — a global movement we are proud to stand alongside.

We finished the day with the Old McKinnon vs New McKinnon footy match, where our alumni joined current students to celebrate the strength of our community across generations.

Every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. Each lap and every game played was a statement of solidarity, a step towards change, and a reminder that as a community, we can and will make a difference.

Together, we are the change.
