Farrer celebrates NAIDOC Week

Our Year 7 & 8 Aboriginal Cultural Day was a huge success with activities like art, dance, didgeridoo, history, artefacts, and boomerang throwing. The day ended with a wonderfully entertaining dance performance by both Year 7 & 8 students!

A big thank you to Matty and Wynona – Future Mentors for the Tamworth Opportunity Hub, Richard – Youth Program Mentor for the Walaaybaa Junior Ranger Program, and Karwin, Dheran, Bareki, Kim, Nahum, Chayse, and Robert – from the Walaaybaa Rangers for sharing their knowledge and culture with our students.

We held our NAIDOC Assembly, featuring an inspiring presentation and a live didgeridoo performance and presentation of the Deadly Awards.
