Students at Grace Berglund Kindergarten in Warragul celebrated NAIDOC week last Wednesday with a campfire, sharing of stories and listening to music from a First Nations perspective.
Kurnai woman and Baw Baw Koorie preschool advisor Susan Simpson and Koorie engagement support pfficer Kaylene McKinnon were special visitors on the day.
Education leader Pauline Whyte said Grace Berglund took pride in its culturally inclusive kinder program.
"Our program is based on the Early Years Framework Principle where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island perspectives are taught to students."
"The culture, knowledge and experiences of First Nations people are explored and celebrated in many ways. We start each day with an Acknowledgement of Country and have learnt and acknowledged that we live on Kurnai Country and thank the Kurnai people for the care of country."
Activities on the day included learning about First Nations flags, painting, stories about bush tucker, hunting and indigenous art and the symbols used.
The students concluded the morning by enjoying delicious damper bread cooked on the campfire after listening to a reading of a book about indigenous culture.
