National NAIDOC Week is a time to celebrate and recognise the rich history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It’s an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories, and join in the celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.
Southern Hills celebrated NAIDOC Week with some fun and festivities!
As part of the celebrations, students were invited to dress in the vibrant colours of the Aboriginal Flag – Red, Black, and Yellow, or NAIDOC themed shirts.
During recess and lunch, students got creative with face painting, canvas dot painting, and had a taste of some delicious kangaroo stew and damper.
A HUGE thanks to our superstar Chaplain, Mrs. Hasluck, for organizing all the activities, cooking the stew AND turning 8kg of flour into damper!
