Our Aboriginal students are excitedly preparing for this year's NAIDOC Week celebrations by participating in Aboriginal dance lessons with one of our parents, Sarah Lugnan and the Yawarr Ngujawiny Dance Group. The students are enjoying learning traditonal cultural movements appropriate to males and females.
Courtney and Kulaia both like dancing to Yothu Yindi's Djapana and love the movements of picking berries and flicking off ceremonial paint. Gabe and Riley say that they "...like learning about our Culture. We like the animal moves - the emu, kangaroo, bird and fish and especially the spirit."
The students will be performing Djapana at our NAIDOC Week opening ceremony, commencing at 9.30am on Monday 24th June.
