This was a wonderful celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island culture, with both boarding and day school students being involved in the opening ceremony, yarning circles, dancing, art and weaving workshops, cooking preparation, which included a traditional Kup Murri. In the evening we were joined by some of the Abergowrie Boys who kindly danced alongside our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island dance groups, with many family members also joining the dancing and\/or supporting the music. It was a fantastic celebration of culture and community. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4340 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18636-320x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18636-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18636-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4341 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18861-320x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18861-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18861-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4342 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18961-320x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18961-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18961-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4343 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18836-320x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18836-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18836-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4344 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18665-1-320x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18665-1-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-18665-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4354 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-25207-320x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-25207-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/08\/NAIDOC-Week-Celebrations-25207-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3581 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/03\/GEMMA-320x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/03\/GEMMA-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/03\/GEMMA-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Gemma Stevens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>ACTING HEAD OF BOARDING<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2023 NAIDOC Community Celebration Our St Patrick\u2019s College Townsville NAIDOC Community Event that took place on Wednesday 9 August was a huge success with over 190 different family members in attendance.
