Aboriginal Education

Lyambay Dancers at School Spectacular

In Week 7, 9 ASC students travelled to Sydney to represent ASC in the Aboriginal Dance Ensemble and Company. The week was filled with excitement and hard work as we rehearsed at Fairfield RSL, preparing for our role as the opening act of the 2024 Schools Spectacular show, All for One.

It was incredible to see behind the scenes of such a massive event, which involved thousands of performers. Our students showed immense dedication, powering through late nights and early mornings with unwavering focus. We were so proud of each student's commitment to delivering their best work.

A huge thank you to Tash, Jaiden, and Mrs. Drielsma for their support in organizing sponsorships, and to the students who raised funds through performances and workshops during NAIDOC Week. Special thanks to the Oorala Centre at UNE for their generous sponsorship and for donating hats and backpacks to the students.
