Mater Dei College event celebrates Aboriginal culture

ABORIGINAL and Torres Strait Islander culture was celebrated at a Mater Dei College event this month.

The Edgewater school held the Whadjuk Gift Day on Wednesday, April 3, starting with a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony.

Principal Annette Morey said students then took part in traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander games and activities devised by teachers.

“This art, HASS, home economics and design and technology cross-curricular project has involved five invited Catholic primary schools,” she said.
