Last week we were very excited to celebrate NAIDOC. A number of experiences and cultural activities were organised by Paige Smith AIEO and supported by our student services and homeroom teachers. This year’s theme was “For our Elders – Our Elders paved the pathways for us, taught us our knowledge, our history, they passed down their art, stories and wisdom.”
Students in homerooms helped to create a Sea of Hands, other students assisted Ms Smith to create a sand mural. During lunch on Friday students were able to explore the Aboriginal culture through tasting samples of emu, crocodile, camel, kangaroo and damper which was prepared by Patrick and Glenice Smith.
Binar Futures Dance put on an incredibly moving dance, exploring different animals and a dreamtime story with didgeridoo music. Students also contributed to a large painting, made bracelets and explored an information booth.
