Aboriginal Resource Centre (ARC)

At the 草榴社区 Lakes Aboriginal Resource Centre, we aim to provide culturally relevant programs and services for Indigenous students. Together, we strive to support and promote cultural pride and awareness in a safe and inclusive environment that engages and empowers all learners.

The 草榴社区 Lakes campus Aboriginal Resource Centre (ARC) is a safe and inclusive space where we provide a friendly, welcoming, open-door policy for all students, visitors and staff. The ARC features a coffee/ tea bar, a quiet space for students to have lunch, and a comfortable lounge area. We also have a wide variety of cultural resources available to students.
