Real Talk is all about getting realon the topics of sex, relationships and personal identity. Based on Christian values and using personal sharing from a team of dynamic presenters, Real Talk provides presentations, programs and up-to-date resources. We want all young people to know their true value, worth and dignity and to experience love for all it was created to be.

NATIONAL ABORIGINAL & TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER CHILDREN'S DAY 4TH APRIL                   PROUD IN CULTURE, STORNG IN SPIRIT

On Wednesday we celebrated National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Children's Day. A day for families to celebrate culture, traditions and community. A day to celebrate all Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Children  especially Hunter & Nathaniel.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples believe that spirit is all around, in the trees, the sky, the earth, the rocks, the waterhole. Stories connect us to through The Dreaming.

Hunter & Nathaniel spoke at our assembly about the 2021 theme for Children's Day. 

The boys put the flags up while we all listened to Monica Browns song - One People One Land. All of the children made a hand and decorated it with Aboriginal art to place near our flag pole.  The whole school shared cake at morning tea to celebrate this special day.

Nathaniel in Yr 1 - What does Strong in Spirit  mean to you? 

I am an Aboriginal Boy.

I am proud.

The spirits are in the sky and in your hearts.

Thank you for Listening.

Hunter in Yr 6 - What does Strong in Spirit  mean to you? 

Yawai - that means hello in Dunghutti. 

My name is Hunter.

I would like to acknowledge the owners of this land past & present.

I am standing on Dunghutti soil.

I was born in Bundaberg, but now I like on Dunghutti country.

The spirits guide me on the right path. They are in my dreaming.
