Students celebrate Naidoc Week with activities

INDIGENOUS culture came to the fore at Ocean Road Primary School as students celebrated Naidoc Week recently.

A group of the school’s Indigenous students, known as the ORPS Mob, kicked off the celebrations at a whole school assembly before all students got stuck into a range of Naidoc-themed activities.

Ocean Road Primary School belonging team leader Susan Titshall said students were able to make their own damper and Quandong jams, learn about the Noongar language, listen to traditional Dreamtime stories and create artwork including a whole class Wargyl or giant snake.

Naidoc Week, which celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, is on from July 7 to 14.
