We recently held a whole school assembly to reflect on the significance of Aboriginal Education at Gladstone High School. We showcased what our Aboriginal learners participated in throughout Semester 1 and how we continue to embed Cultural engagement in our school.   

We are currently reviewing our Reconciliation Action Plan and were successful in fulfilling our objectives, one of which was to create a ‘Acknowledgment to Country' pull-up banner!  

Jasmine O’Brien contributed to some artwork, which is reflected on the banner representing KAWi, which is water in the language of the traditional custodians, the Nukunu people.  

Over the semester, I have visited Years 7-8 classes to share information to reinforce our stance on racism at our school and reflect on the significance of events in our shared histories.  

Our Aboriginal learners have created QR pickets to display around the school so learning areas can access them to keep the flow of conversations going.
