We were lucky enough to have Bob Blair from Glen Innes to be in the School Monday and Tuesday this week teaching all our Primary students and High School students traditional Aboriginal Dance and he also played and taught us about the didgeridoo. The students learnt dances such as the Kangaroo , berry dance, gapu dance, pipi dance, sea eagle dance, and one of the favorites of the week the willy wag tail dance. We would like to thank Bob for his experience and Knowledge of Aboriginal dance and for taking the time to come in and teach the students and even some of our staff.
