Year 7 Boomerang Project

Earlier this term, our Year 7 students began a unique Design Technology project with our Indigenous Artist in Residence, Sam Richards. Over several weeks, students explored the cultural significance of boomerangs and the role of traditional Indigenous symbols in storytelling, deepening their understanding of connection to Country and culture.

 

After learning about the history and meaning behind the 12 traditional symbols, students used these as inspiration to create their own boomerang designs. They sketched, refined and then painted their final artwork onto ethically sourced wooden boomerangs, using techniques shared by Sam throughout the sessions.

 

The finished pieces will be shown at our End of Semester Art and Technology Exhibition, where families, staff and peers will be invited to view the students’ work. 

 

We are incredibly proud of the thoughtful and respectful way our Year 7 students have approached this project - and of the beautiful artworks they are producing. Their completed boomerangs will be taken home as personal keepsakes after the exhibition, reflecting not only their artistic talents but also their deep engagement with Indigenous culture and storytelling.

 

Thank you again to Sam Richards for her guidance and knowledge throughout this fantastic project.

 

Indigenous Seven Seasons Wood Technology project

This term, our PACT Class is taking part in a very special learning experience, working with our Indigenous Artist in Residence, Sam, on a creative and culturally rich wood technology project.

 

The project will see students design a large wooden artwork made entirely from recycled wood, aligning with the sustainability focus of our Wood Technology unit. The piece will be a representation of the Seven Indigenous Seasons, offering a unique opportunity for students to learn about Indigenous knowledge systems while developing hands-on design skills.

 

In their first session this week, Sam introduced the students to the concept of the Seven Seasons, explaining the significance of each and how they connect to the natural environment. Students then began sketching their initial individual design concepts based on what they learned.

 

As the project continues, students will pair up to combine their ideas and create a section of the final artwork. The overall piece will be circular in design, with seven connected segments, each representing one of the Indigenous seasons.

 

Once completed, the finished artwork will be installed in a prominent location within the College, celebrating both student creativity and Indigenous culture in a lasting way.

 

We look forward to sharing the progress and final product with our school community.
