NAIDOC Celebrations
Tuesday 3rd July

Smoking Ceremony
8:00am, Rugby Oval
An ancient and timeless ceremony that heals and purifies the participants and the area. In a smoking ceremony, leaves are smouldered on a small fire. The smoke covers the participants' bodies, ridding them of what is not needed, and strengthening them when they feel sad or weak. Nyungar elders Sandra Harben & Len Collard will lead us in this ceremony and all students, parents and staff are warmly invited.
