Wingham Bush Public School hosted the day at the Town Green on Friday, July 22. Students from Wingham High School volunteered to help out.

The day commenced with a welcome to country by Uncle Russell Taylor.

The students rotated around a variety of activities throughout the day. Students were put into small groups and participated in each of the activities for about 20 minutes.  

The activities on the day included art making, a range of Aboriginal sport games, traditional food tasting, ochre face painting, Aboriginal dances, and listening and watching didgeridoo playing. There was also music by indigenous composers playing all day.

The year ten anatomy class were in charge of the games during the day.

Multiple schools came from around the area to be involved in the day from Wingham Brush Public School, Elands Public School, Mount George Public School, Bobin Public School and dancers from Wingham Public School.

The year ten anatomy class did a great job organising the games on the day. The children learnt new games and skills and had fun whist participating in the activities. They loved being a part of the day and some enjoyed having ochre put around their eyes and on their cheeks.

The younger students decorated the Wingham native bat on coloured cardboard and made it look like it was flying.

The food tastings were delicious and the emu sausages were a hit. A big thank you to the didgeridoo player, Scott Bishop, for playing throughout the day.
