Exciting news for our Kindergarten students! Next Tuesday 1st June we will welcome to our school Stephanie – a proud Aboriginal woman from the Wonnaruah and Worimi nations of the Hunter Valley/Port Stephens regions. 

For the past 20 years, Stephanie has provided cultural experiences to children and staff in preschools and primary schools through her businesses ‘Numa Ngarra’ which means ‘feel, listen, know’, in the Gathang language of the Worimi Nation.  

During the middle session, Stephanie will spend time with our Kindergarten students as they investigate Dreaming Stories of our Awabakal and surrounding areas, incorporated in their Literacy unit. Her aim to provide students with experiences that connect to their own lives while using the outdoors and gifts from nature will ensure our kindergarten students have a very meaningful and fun experience with her! 

We are very fortunate to have Stephanie visit us and look forward to learning more about our Awabakal culture with her!
