The Timbarra P-9 College community came together to celebrate National Reconciliation Week last week.
Held on Friday 2 June, students, parents and staff members enjoyed a smoking ceremony and yidaki (didgeridoo) from the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation.
New principal Cassandra Marinopoulos was among the staff members who participated in the smoking ceremony.
The intermediate and senior choirs sang ‘I Am Australian’ and ‘Everyone Belongs’ during the event.
Held from Saturday 27 May to Saturday 3 June, National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about their shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how everyone can contribute to achieving reconciliation between the Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Star News photographer Stewart Chambers visited the school to capture the event.
