The South Burnett’s second annual combined schools NAIDOC Day celebration – a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture – was hosted by St Mary’s Catholic College in Kingaroy last Friday.<\/p>\n

Students at the host school were joined by Year 8 pupils from Nanango, Murgon and Kingaroy State high schools for the day of activities, which was sponsored by the Aboriginal Community Interest Consultative Committee (ACICC).<\/p>\n

There was information on the Torres Strait Islands, the history of Cherbourg, Dreaming stories, didgeridoo music, painting, traditional dancing, boomerang and spear-throwing lessons and a traditional-inspired morning tea, including damper with bunya nut chutney, emu mince balls and kangaroo pies.<\/p>\n

At lunchtime, the students shared modern tucker cooked in a traditional kup-murri, including pork, lamb, chicken, sweet potato, potatoes and pumpkins.<\/p>\n

Chef Sheroll Richard, whose husband Mark is a teacher at St Mary’s, also prepared a traditional Fijian dish which is cooked underground, palusami, made from cabbage, silverbeet, tomato, onion and coconut milk.<\/p>\n

(The kup-murri team should be congratulated for their efforts … they started digging their cooking hole at 4:00am in the morning, when the temperature in Kingaroy was minus 4.1 degrees C!)<\/p>\n

Also unveiled on the day was St Mary’s new Dreaming Garden which features an elaborately decorated cross designed by local artist Niketa Law.<\/p>\n

The sacred space also includes a rainbow serpent motif, bottle trees representing the Wakka Wakka and Gubbi Gubbi nations, and remembers the different language groups which used to attend bunya nut festivals.<\/p>\n

A ring has also been incorporated which will be decorated later this year with a Bunya Dreaming painting.<\/p>\n
