An annual event, attendees enjoyed a delicious spread as a group of boys from years 3-6 performed the didgeridoo. Principal Adrian King said it was a hard-won skill and group played very well.
“It went very well, we had a large group of people turn up,” he said.
“It’s a nice opportunity to sit, talk and meet over a cup of tea and get to know each other and build stronger relationships”.
Brett French gave the welcome to country, and Adrian talked briefly on reconciliation and the theme of “our history, our story, our future”.
Parents and grandparents treasured the opportunity to tour the classrooms and see students in their element. While older children were a little more reluctant, the youngest were excited to share their learning environment with their nans, pops, mums and dads.
Adrian said, as students are the future, the school does what it can to make sure reconciliation is in their hearts and minds. He said it was important for students to find out about our history and acknowledge the things that happened in the past, but also learn the journey from then to now.
Adrian was impressed by Moree’s vibrant Reconciliation Week calendar, which included events for all ages.
“I think it's fabulous, I think it’s great to have a range of activities that focus on reconciliation.”
