EXPLORERS
This week the Explorers families joined the rest of the College in celebrating NAIDOC week.
The Thursday group were visited by a special guest: Bronwyn Dillon, a proud palawa woman descended from Fanny Cochrane Smith. Bronwyn taught the children a simple dance about protecting one another. She also told the Dreaming story of the Nuenonne people of Bruny Island about the creation of trowenna/lutruwita (Tasmania). Children engaged with lots of props including Aboriginal dolls, native animals and handfuls of ice as they imagined the ice ages.
The Friday group had Mrs Lucy Brown share the songs Taba Naba and Inanay Capuana, sung in the Torres Strait Islands. The children loved the rhythm of the music.
Thank you Bronwyn and Lucy, for helping us to celebrate the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
