23.01.2022 NAIDOC WEEK As part of our special NAIDOC celebrations this week, the staff and students were lucky enough to welcome Ellen Thomas (Collard) to be our guest speaker and share with us her journey and story as a Noongar Balardung Yorga, who was from the stolen generation. We hope the students left with Ellen’s message of kindness and respect for each other and that we are all one, in this journey together. Throughout the week, each class participated in a variety of NAIDOC activities such as cooking damper, learning Dreamtime stories and using traditional techniques to create artwork. On Friday the students enjoyed a kangaroo sausage sizzle to conclude our wonderful week.
