NAIDOC Assembly
This week we celebrated NAIDOC and due to the current COVID-19 restrictions we had to make some changes and postpone some activities until the restrictions ease.
We were able to go a head with the Rachel Johnson Memorial Touch Football grand final and NAIDOC assembly.
The touch football grand final was an exciting game to watch between Homerooms ME3 and MC7 with ME3 taking home the trophy with a 5-4 win in a very close game.
Our Indigenous students really showed pride and worked extremely hard in the lead up for the NAIDOC assembly. Eli Honeyman, Tracey Cassidy and Lachlan Johnson spoke beautifully and Darnell Robinson-Johnson presented the touch football winners on behalf of Rachel Johnson's family, thank you Darnell.
For the first time ever we had our very own Indigenous students perform a dance which moved some members of the audience to tears. These students should be extremely proud of themselves because we could not be more proud of them with the effort and pride they displayed in their performance and I think they all deserve a mention. Well done Peter Hammond, Zahlee Kilduff, Lani Cole, Heather McGhee, Elle Fisher, Nate Laurie, Koby Culling, Jimmy Hammond, Bailey Chivers-Smith, Noah Burchell, Matthew McGhee, Kaydence Killduff, Shakayla Grieves, Sandi Skennar and Jara’na Dutton.
I would also like to say thank you to our PE staff who have incorporated Traditional Indigenous games into their PE prac lessons this week.
