Aboriginal Programs

Millabah

• Our Aboriginal Dance Group meet and rehearse weekly with local mentor Toby Cedar to share stories and cultural knowledge with local schools and perform at community events.

Yarning Circle

• This sacred space embodies our unwavering commitment to the values of reconciliation and unity. Carefully designed as a place to gather, yarn, and learn, our Yarning Circle brings students, families, and the broader community together. It serves as a tribute to First Nations culture, fostering deeper connections and understanding. The HSPA Yarning Circle stands as a reflection of our commitment and respect to the land, its heritage, and the enduring narratives of its peoples. The surrounding spaces will be filled with student murals over the coming years and a bush tucker garden is underway. Join us in honouring and celebrating our rich cultural history together.
