Subject: Integrated Learning - NAIDOC Week Planning 🪃
As part of their Integrated Learning, our Year 3 and 4 students have taken on the impressive task of organising NAIDOC Week from start to finish. Through this, they have gained a deeper understanding of NAIDOC and Aboriginal peoples, histories, and cultures. Additionally, they have developed valuable transferable skills such as forming committees, budgeting, enhancing their presentation skills, and co-designing age-appropriate activities for students from Reception to Year 6. Possums, what a LEGACY you have started here at Long Street with our first student-led NAIDOC Week.
We started on Monday with a NAIDOC Launch Assembly where we learned about the history and intention behind NAIDOC Week. Throughout the week, the Junior, Middle and Upper Hub all participated in separate activities, plus we celebrated with a whole school activity!
Here are some photos snapped by the ‘Possum Media Team’, sharing some of Week 10's adventures (celebrated early as officially NAIDOC Week falls in the school holidays).
