NAIDOC Week is coming to St Ursula’s in Week 1 of Term 3!
The 2023 theme is For Our Elders and St Ursula’s is fortunate to be hosting elders Aunty Emma Peel, Aunty Therese Aldridge and Uncle Frank McLeod and they will be working with our Aboriginal students to create two new panels for the mural on display in the Indigenous Garden. They will also be available to advise other students on Aboriginal painting styles during a lunchtime activity of painting river stones. Students will be offered a red, yellow and black wool bracelet to wear all week as a sign of their support of NAIDOC Week. Other activities to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and languages that week will be the opportunity to participate in a traditional Water Ceremony, play marngrook, dance with Move It Mob Style and, everybody’s favourite, eat pancakes spread with rosella, finger lime and quandong Indigenous jams. Donations of pancake mix will be gratefully accepted!
