Yaama,

Cultural Learning Plan Afternoon Session 

We would like to invite our First Nations students' parents/carers to our Cultural Learning Plan afternoon session where plans will be reviewed and completed alongside teachers and myself. It is from this plan that Miss Taggart organises the students learning for their cultural group time. 

New Wii Gaay Students 

Congratulations to Angus Steadman and Zavier Beattie who have successfully been chosen to take part in the Wii Gaay Program. This is a great achievement for Angus and Zavier and an exciting time for them as they join our other Wii Gaay Students on their first excursion in Week 9 of this term. 

Stage 3 

This term we are fortunate enough to have the Opportunity Hub return to take our Stage 3 students through a cultural program about tools and artifacts. The students had their first lesson last week and really enjoyed learning and talking to our guests. 

2025 Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Significant Dates

Anniversary of the National Apology 

February 13th marks the anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations. It was a significant milestone for healing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, who suffered as a result of past government policies of forced child removal and assimilation. It is important that, as a nation, we commemorate and acknowledge the wrongs of the past, while reflecting on the work that still needs to be done to address the impacts of unresolved trauma. 

Through hearing the resilient stories of Stolen Generations survivors, there is now a willingness for Australians to join in on the healing journey and to be part of solutions into the future. This is the spirit of the anniversary.
