NAIDOC WEEK CELEBRATION INFORMATION

In Week 11 of this term we will be celebrating NAIDOC week with an incursion run by NYUMBAR Education. This is the same group who came to our school last year.

 Below is some information about the visit so that you are aware of what will happen.

They will be running a Jagen (Country) Program.

“The country Program focuses on the local Aboriginal land that your school is located on, looking at landmarks, plants, animals and waterways. We look at and learn about the colours and symbols on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags as well as learning about an Acknowledgement of Country and a Welcome to country, the difference and the importance of them both. Students will have the opportunity to paint their own individual piece of art which they will be able to take home.”

The program will run over 4 days in Week 11.

It will be held in the main hall or O block. Timetable and venues being finalised now

and will be published in the coming weeks.
