In recognition of NAIDOC week coming up from the 7th-15th of July, every child from K-6 participated in a range of activities yesterday stemming from our Indigenous Australian culture. Ray Smith and Nellie Johnson from the National Indigenous Australians Agency joined us and introduced the children to four traditional Indigenous outdoor games - where a lot of skill was required to 'hunt' native animals. The children also listened to traditional stories; learned a song in our local Indigenous language, Dhuruga; completed some artwork around the theme Voice, Truth, Treaty; cooked and ate some traditional Johnny Cakes and walked around our local bushland identifying native plants. It was a wonderful day of learning experiences for all. How lucky is Broulee Public School?! We were treated to an amazing performance from the Sydney Boys Grammar School concert band on Tuesday - they were Ah-MAZING! Some photos and videos are below for you to enjoy. What a wonderful day we had on Wednesday for our athletics carnival. We were so very proud of our Year One students for their comradery, enthusiasm and perseverance - they also had a lot of fun! Well done Year One! |
