MAC delegates and staff officially began the Round Square International Conference 2026 at Barker College with a full day of activities, performances, and cultural experiences.

Throughout the day, students participated in Indigenous weaving, fire making, spear throwing, and storytelling, alongside reptile shows, dance performances, and woodchopping competitions. A Welcome to Country Smoking Ceremony and Stockman Presentation provided an introduction to Australian and Indigenous culture and marked a memorable start to the conference.
