Our school will be celebrating NAIDOC Week this week and there are a number of events planned to celebrate NAIDOC Week giving all students an opportunity to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, history and achievements.
- Each day will start with an Acknowledgement of Country or a short presentation by our Aboriginal students at assembly
- All students will be involved in creating an artwork in their classroom and through this artwork they will develop their knowledge of Aboriginal culture and symbolism.
- All students will receive a NAIDOC wristband for their art entry and the 3 best artworks from each class will be selected and included in our school art exhibition which students will have the opportunity to view on Friday. A winning artwork from each stage will be selected. These students will receive a book prize and their artworks will be displayed for public view.

- On Friday, all students will participate in traditional indigenous games (Yulunga) led by one of our students’ grandfathers Mr Gerald Bradshaw from the Office of School Sport
