NAIDOC Celebrations

What a great way to finish the term with a day full of activities celebrating NAIDOC week. Thanks to the Millibah Dance group from HSPA for joining us and to Miss Chapman for organising the event. Students enjoyed learning some Awabakal language, dance, boomerang art and face painting. Have a look at the photos below! 

Hall of Fame Assembly: Responsibility

Congratulations to all our Hall of Famers who were inducted today for their above and beyond efforts this term in the Core Value of Responsibility. A special congratulation to our very own Jessamy from 6B!

At our special assembly today we were treated to guest performances by the Yadagi Boys from Callaghan College, who shared their didgeridoo music with us, as well as our Junior Choir, who performed their rendition of ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’, and the Senior Choir who performed the Australian anthem in Awabakal language. Thank you to Darren from Callaghan College and our Miss Hibbert for leading these students in the enjoyable performances. A beautiful way to incorporate NAIDOC Week and Hall of Fame celebrations at the same event.

NAIDOC Celebrations

Well done to all of our students for their excellent participation in our NAIDOC celebration activities yesterday! We began the day with a smoking ceremony, performed by Awabakal Land Council elders, followed by singing and dancing performances from the Millibah students from HSPA. Students also enjoyed taking part in a variety of activities throughout the day, including traditional dance, languages, face painting, and canvas art. Thank you to Miss Chapman for organising such a great day.

This week is NAIDOC Week for 2016. Last week, we celebrated NAIDOC week. We began with an assembly that included a traditional smoking ceremony and performances from the Millibah Dance Group from HSPA. Students then worked in groups and rotated through a range of cultural activities including face painting, dance, beading, and bush tucker. It was a wonderful day. Thank you to Miss Chapman and the Aboriginal Education Team for organising the event. Be sure to have a look at the numerous photos below!
