On Friday, 2 September, the Year 6 students spent the day in Middle School with Year 8 students experiencing the Aboriginal for a Day program. The program, already enjoyed by hundreds of schools throughout Australia, encompassed story telling, painting, art, didgeridoo, bush tucker preparation and dance activities. Students were broken into small groups for workshops on each of the disciplines before coming together for a final activity which was boomerang throwing.
The Junior School students also gained a better understanding of the Torrens Park Campus and the facilities offered in readiness for their transition to Year 7. They were also treated to a barbeque lunch and had the opportunity to sample Aboriginal bush tucker that was prepared earlier in the day.
