On Tuesday 31st July, all the students and staff at Bannister Creek PS celebrated the 2018 NAIDOC theme which was ‘Because of Her We Can’.
The Pre-Primary to Year 6 students attended a special NAIDOC assembly where they were treated to a wonderful performance by the Moorditj Mob (students from Wesley College). The dancing and playing of the didgeridoo captivated the audience and we learnt some Indigenous words for boomerang, didgeridoo and how to say goodbye at the end.
Thank you to the Moorditj Mob and Mr Derek Nannup for their captivating performance, and to Mr McNamara for organising the dancers.
Thank you to the following students who spoke at the assembly to share their thoughts around our theme ‘Because of Her We Can’: Isabella, Room 16; Shaqeta, Room 16; Alisandra, Room 16; Ella, Room 18 and Jackson, Room 14. Thank you to Mrs Clark for supporting the students to prepare their readings.
Thank you to our special guests Alicia and Mrs Bynder for sharing your stories and for the Acknowledgment of Country to open the assembly.
A final Thank you to Mr Robson and the students in Room 18 for preparing the Undercover Area and hosting the assembly.
After the assembly, students participated in a range of NAIDOC themed activities including braiding, hunting for objects, making story quilts and all classes made damper with two special ingredients.
