NAIDOC Week

Throughout the week in Pastoral Care students looked at the theme Voice, Treaty, Truth and what it means on an individual, community, regional and national level.

On Tuesday Year 5 primary school students were invited to participate an Indigenous Games Gala Day on the western oval. The games were officiated by Maclean High School Year 10 Physical Activity and Sports Studies students.

On Thursday Years 7-12 students were invited to participate in workshops that ran throughout the day in the library area and in the quad.

On Monday there was a whole school assembly where students made speeches and performed musical and dance items.

On Wednesday the library was opened to community members to explore past media articles, photographs and publications all documenting the rich and unique history of our area and Aboriginal Education.

This was finished off with a community BBQ for the entire school cooked by parents and community members, all the BBQ food items being donated By Nungera. Thank you very much to those parents who started cooking 1200 sausages from 10am for them to be ready to be devoured by hungry teenagers at lunchtime.
