The Melbourne Grammar community is warmly invited to the Having a Yarn First Nations Awareness Breakfast on Tuesday 29 July 2025, in support of National NAIDOC Week.

National NAIDOC Week celebrates and recognises the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.

Join members of the Melbourne Grammar School community over breakfast and hear from our guest speaker, Kyle Vander-Kuyp, share his incredible inspiring family story.

Kyle is a proud Yuin and Worimi man from the south and north coasts of New South Wales. He is a 12-time national hurdles champion (including eight times consecutively), an Australian record holder in the 110m and 60m hurdles events, and has competed at two Olympic Games, four World Championships and four Commonwealth Games. Kyle is the Founder of the Killara Foundation, an organisation that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by providing pathways to employment, cultural connection and mentoring, and support in navigating the housing and labour markets.
