Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week 2024

This year’s theme is Now More Than Ever. We are encouraged to move forward, connecting with one another and looking forward towards a reconciled future.

New - Yorta Yorta Elders

Last term Yr 5/6 students learn about various Yorta Yorta elders. Tahlia then took some of the Indigenous students to the Art Room to create bollards that included information about each of the elders. 

The bollards were then shared during our NAIDOC Week Showcase.

We were impressed by the information the children were able to share on each bollard.

New - Indigenous Artwork

In Term 2 some of our Indigenous students worked with Che Atkinson to create artwork on wooden chopping boards. 

These were presented as part of our NAIDOC Week Showcase last Friday.

Acknowledgement of Country               

At St Mary’s Primary School Mooroopna we Acknowledge the Traditional people of this land. The Yorta Yorta Nation are the Traditional Custodians of this area and we remember their elders, past, present and future. We remember that the Aboriginal people of Australia will always be the  traditional owners of the land on which we gather today. We continue to grow through education and reconciliation to a better future for all Australians.
