OLMC community celebrates Indigenous cultural immersion

On Thursday, 25th of July, OLMC celebrated NAIDOC week as a school community.

Julie and Josh, leaders from the Jarara Indigenous Team led the day, beginning with a smoking ceremony to cleanse our environment and promote wellbeing for semester two. Students were absolutely captivated with the ceremony, as were teachers and family members.

They then shared Indigenous culture and history with all our grades through artifacts, language, stories, movement and art. Some of the topics students explored were tools & technologies, songlines, symbolism and dreamings, The Stolen Generation, reconciliation and NAIDOC.

We would like to sincerely thank the Jarara Indigenous Team for providing our community with such a wonderful experience and look forward to working in partnership with them in the near future.

This week our 2027 Kindergarten children began their transition to big school by attending playgroup. Playgroup helps our children become familiar with our school grounds, meet their classmates and some of the teachers. Playgroup sets the children up to start their first year of school with confidence. While the children played their parents attended information sessions. This week Mrs Diaz introduced the parents to our religious education curriculum ‘Encountering Jesus’.
