23.01.2022 NAIDOC Week Last week was NAIDOC week and to celebrate, Greenacre Public School held an online assembly. We learnt about the 2020 theme, 'Always was, Always will be', which means that this land has always been and will always be Aboriginal land. The whole school listened and watched Miss McDonald, who is a proud Yuin woman, present and share her knowledge with the students and teachers. We also listened to a special message from Hon MP Linda Burney, watched Mr Lee interview A...unty Lyn who is an elder in the Greenacre community, listened to one of our student leaders read the Acknowledgement of Country and participated in creative art projects centred around NAIDOC. We are grateful for the knowledge that we have gained and continue to learn about the First Nations People of this land. Always was, Always will be Aboriginal land. NAIDOC Committee

17.01.2022 Exploring the Past in Greenacre As part of Stage 1’s history and geography learning programs, students explored the Greenacre environment on a local excursion to Roberts Park, Greenacre Library and Greenacre shops. They were given the opportunity to consolidate their learning by observing local community artworks and the mural in McGuigan Place, and looking at aboriginal symbols on the meeting place wall in front of Abu Salim. Stage 1 thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to re...flect on the past and how it has shaped Greenacre today. Stage 1 Teachers Valerie Rutherford | Teacher Librarian

12.01.2022 Introducing Albert This week Greenacre Public School welcomed Albert to our team of School Learning and Support Officers.
