NAIDOC 2020

On Friday November 13 Mosman Park Primary School students participated in a range of activities that acknowledge and celebrate NAIDOC Week.

The NAIDOC theme this year is "Always Was, Always Will Be" and the Mosman Park school community always turns on a fantastic NAIDOC celebration, thanks to our generous and dedicated Aboriginal families who lead the school in the celebrations.

Activities on the day included t-shirt painting with images created by parent and artist, Kahlie Lockyer, who also supervised the dot painting. Students from St Hilda's kindly came along to face paint our students with traditional dot painting, and there was the opportunity to bead friendship bracelets and eat delicious kangaroo stew and damper!

After the fun activities there was a formal NAIDOC assembly with Welcome to Country by Aboriginal Elder, Freda Oglivie, who is also now on the School Board, followed by the official launch of the school's Reconciliation Action Plan. The students then sang our wonderful school song Under the Fig Tree in Noongar, translated by Roma Winmar and taught to the students by Ian Campbell of Boonderu Music.

It was a fantastic day and big thanks go to the NAIDOC committee families, the school chaplain Rhonda Miller and Deputy Principal, Pamela Chatfield for organising the events.
