Infants Cultural Day

In collaboration with Newcastle Community of Schools and the approval of Muloobinbah AECG, Merewether Public School hosted an Infants Cultural Day.

The purpose of this day is for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to make connections with each other and also to learn about their cultures from First Nations role models and community members. It was a fantastic day, where students started as strangers but left as friends. There will be another Cultural Day for primary students, and these cultural events will continue so students can form connections with others before starting high school.

Thank you to the following for their participation and involvement in making the day amazing:

Wollotuka Institute
Nutrition Plus
