MENTOR MAGIC IDESIGN

Bgs Indigenous Secondary School Students

HAVE HAD A MENTORING DAY WITH AJ FROM GIRRAWAY GANYI AND AUNTY KAREN.

Together with BGS Indigenous Mentor Katie Bugden, they were taught Wayapa, a meditative dance to connect to the elements and to give thanks to country.

The students also worked with kangaroo pelts and created their own designs.

Thank you to AJ and Aunty Karen for sharing their knowledge and wisdom with the boys.
