NAIDOC March & Mallee Park Cookout for Year 7 Crew
On the final day of Term 2, the entire Year 7 Crew consolidated our learning about reconciliation by attending this year’s NAIDOC March as active citizens in the community.
Supported by Aboriginal Education workers Shantelle and CJ, we were able to further our learning by celebrating culture and the learners’ success with a visit to the Port Lincoln Aboriginal Community Council and a Crew Cookout at the Mallee Park Wombat Pit.
