🌿 NAIDOC Week Celebration at Katanning Senior High School 🌿
Today, our school and wider community came together to honour NAIDOC Week, a time to celebrate the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week has its roots in the 1938 Day of Mourning and has grown into a powerful week-long observance across Australia.
We marked the occasion with a special assembly, bringing together students, families, staff, and community members in a spirit of unity and respect.
Our Year 11 Children, Family & Community students baked fabulous NAIDOC-themed cupcakes, adding a sweet touch to the day!
Thanks to the generosity of staff and community members, everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch of kangaroo stew and freshly made damper — a perfect way to share culture and connection.
A huge congratulations to Miss McRoberts, our incredible AIEO, for organising such a meaningful and memorable event for our students. Your dedication and passion made today truly special. 💛❤️🖤
