Reconciliation Week


Reconciliation Week

 

This week is Reconciliation Week. Here at Doonside P.S. we are committed to the ongoing process of putting reconciliation into practice. This includes providing educational opportunities which address closing the gap between Aboriginal and non Aboriginal people, and promoting cultural awareness and mutual respect. We do this through school based activities such as our Dance Troupe and Maths Mob, and teaching and learning strategies which conform to cultural protocols.  In the last week of June we will be celebrating N.A.I.D.O.C which will include providing an opportunity for our students to use technology to link with other students from Gunnedah P.S.  Our N.A.I.D.O.C celebrations will culminate with a series of performances by our well renowned and respected Dance Troupe "Bulaar Galay Yulii Galay" which represents our postcode 2767.

This years theme is "Change: the next step is ours".  Here at Doonside P.S. this means owning the gap, which refers to  taking charge and responsibility in how we  as a school community move forward with regards to improving all outcomes for Aboriginal people and particularly Aboriginal students.
