Year 5/6 Girls Weaving Sessions

Throughout the year of 2024, our Year 5/6 girls have had the pleasure of being taught Aboriginal Cultural Weaving by St Mary's Catholic High School, Gunnedah. 

All the girls have enjoyed this cultural experience very much and were able to take their finished products home.  

Along with the weaving sessions the girls created friendship bonds with the girls from St Mary's High School, Gunnedah. 

The Aboriginal Cultural Weaving sessions between both schools will continue next year with a new group of Year 5/6 girls which will be exciting.
