BRIGGS HALL
Briggs Hall is named after Geraldine Briggs AO (Aunty Gerry), a tireless campaigner seeking to improve the living conditions for Aboriginal people for human rights. She was an inspirational leader and an enduring role model, particularly for women across Victoria.Ā
She was the President and founding member of the National Aboriginal and Island Women's Co-operative and a founding member of the Uniting Council of Aboriginal Women. Our mascot is the emu, the dreaming totem of Aunty Gerry. Our colours are blue, green, and silver, like the emu.
