NAIDOC Week at Penrhos College This November, we celebrated NAIDOC Week at Penrhos as we respectfully acknowledged the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation as the traditional owners of the land on which we stand. Festivities opened with a beautiful Welcome to Country by special guest Ingrid Cumming. A proud event for all which included an amazing speech by Year 10 student Chiara and dance performances by students from Penrhos and Aquinas College, whilst the Yidaki/Didgeridoo and tapping sticks were played. A spectacular sand mural celebrating connection to Country was created to cover the Rixon Amphitheatre, and students enjoyed tastings of delicious damper with bush tucker and ‘roo stew. Many thanks to the Student Reconciliation Committee for hosting and to the NIAA, MADALAH and Future Footprints for their support.
