Welcome back to the new term!
Message Sticks
This term we students continue to paint our poles, which will become message sticks at the entrance of the school. Once complete they will be placed in a concrete bed, which will eventually contain a dry river bed made by all students and staff.
AIME
Friday the 2nd of June 2019 is the next AIME day, where students will be attending UOW by bus. Students will need to be at school and ready to go by 8:15am. The students are able to wear comfortable clothing including their AIME hoodies.
STEAM Youth Development Camp
The New South Wales Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc. (NSW AECG Inc.) in conjunction with WestConnex will be conducting a STEAM Youth Development Camp for Aboriginal students from Years 5 to 11. To commence the process the NSW AECG Inc. is calling for Expressions of Interest from schools with Aboriginal students in the nominated years.
If anyone is interested in this activity please get in touch with Mr Brown for more Information.
Our Feeder schools are coming to spend the day with us on Friday 9th August, 2019. Our students will be assisting with the activities on the day. Our guests will paint a small cheese board in Aboriginal designs, make a raffia basket or fish, learn some dance and also about Aboriginal tools and artifacts.
