Reconciliation Week
Reconciliation is an ongoing journey and each day we demonstrate Reconciliation in our individual behaviours, in the classroom, office, and everywhere in-between.
We all have a role to play when it comes to Reconciliation and aim to build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures and futures.
Room 14 Excursion
We had so much fun on our excursion and were gifted a hibiscus plant to acknowledge the stolen generation and Reconciliation week that we hope to plant in the school.
The native hibiscus has been approved by the National Stolen Generations Alliance as the official symbol for Sorry Day. According to the Kimberley Stolen Generations Aboriginal Corporation, the native hibiscus “was adopted because it is found widely across Australia and it is a survivor. Its colour denotes compassion and spiritual healing.”
We thank TAFESA Port Adelaide Child Care Centre for inviting us!
Room 15 & 18 Buddies
This week for Reconciliation week Room 18 and Room 15 worked together to design and create AFL Guernsey's using the technique of dot painting that represented and acknowledged Aboriginal and Torres Strait culture. They were fun to make and they look fantastic!
Basket Weaving
On Wednesday our students were lucky enough to spend time with Katie one of our Aboriginal parents to learnt the art and craft of basket weaving. Katie took all their creations home to create into a wall hanging piece. We are excited to display this in our school.
Room 9 & 10
Check out our super cute receptions performing 'Heads, shoulders, knees and toes' in Kaurna language at our Reconciliation Assembly.
