On 23 November we welcomed Sharon Gregory, Noongar Language Specialist who ran workshops with our classes. Sharon discussed the Noongar Nation and the languages used. She taught us some simple songs in Noongar and the names of birds and animals. We each made a book with pictures and Noongar names of the animals. Sharon helped us write an “Acknowledgement to Country” for us to use around our school and at special events like assemblies. Sharon also supplied our library with 10 Noongar Dictionary’s for staff and student use. Thank you Sharon for your knowledge, we all learned a lot and are keen to learn more. Thank you to Mrs Julie Waigana and Mrs Janine Griffiths for assisting with these sessions.
