 Warraymayalaya Maal Dhuwi Retreat

During week 1, 28 Year 8 & 9  Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander students from across the Diocese commenced their journey in the Warraymayalaya Maal Dhuwi Retreat focusing on  "Aboriginal Spirituality and Identity" 

The retreat focused on the meaning of Aboriginal Spirituality & Identity, knowing who you are, where you come from and being proud, understanding the importance of the meaning of  Warraymayalaya - "Stand together" and Maal Dhuwi - "One Spirit" within our Diocese. Students engaged in cultural and team building activities to build courage, resilience,meet new friends, have fun and learnt about the importance of carrying one's Spirit and Identity together. 

"Gaba Nginda" (THANKYOU) to our wonderful Secondary School's AEA"s and Teachers for making the Warraymaylaya Maal Dhuwi (Standing Together as One Spirit) Retreat,  a culturally safe and rewarding experience for our students.
