Last year Tara Taylor and Tania Dorney from the Learning Pod obtained some funding for Broulee Public School to run Aboriginal projects within the school. We called this project Storylines. As a part of this program Rod Slockee, local Aboriginal Community Liason Officer, visited the school and shared both local Aboriginal stories and his own personal stories with targeted indigenous and non-indigenous students. Students then spent time with Tara creating artwork about their own personal stories and local Aboriginal stories. The local stories Rod shared are currently being made into e-books with art done by our students which will be made into a resource that everyone in the school can use. Last week Rod visited the school and some students helped him to put a border around one of Rod's painting's, which he has kindly donated to the school. Here are some photos of Rod and students painting his artwork. It will be hung proudly in our school. A big thank-you to Rod for his donation to our school.
