Celebrations will continue throughout the week with cultural based classroom activities, displays, traditional Aboriginal games and storytelling.

This year's NAIDOC week theme is "Our future begins with solidarity" and this was embodied at the assembly with all children partaking in the activities.

School principal Peter Partridge spoke about the importance of having elders like Aunty Rose Fernando and Aunty June Barker to visit the school and tell stories about their ancestry.

"I've been at other schools were this wouldn't have happened," he said.

Students also spoke about the importance of NAIDOC week to them with Jodie Nagy, Alyssa Knee and Whitney Skuthorpe describing why it is so important.

Special awards were given to Alyssa Knee and Jesse McGee for their performance in their studies.

The week was organised by Aboriginal Education Assistant Ros Shaw with the help of school staff.

"It has been a major operation and a lot of work by everyone at the school,"

"NAIDOC week is given really high priority at the school, it is a really important week, and it is great the school recognises that," she said.

Ms Shaw said it was a little disappointing the rain had pushed all the events inside but it could not put a dampener on the week.

"The students have been great."

, and have really embraced all the activities," she said.

The fun continued yesterday with a disco and 'koori-oke' courtesy of Grassy and the cutting of the reconciliation cake.

Students have also been treated to Rap workshops by author/rapper Munkimuk who was recognised at the assembly on Monday for his generous donation of his time.

National NAIDOC week celebrations begin next week.
