Yanco Agricultural High School Year 10 PASS students travelled eight hours north to the small remote town of Goodooga to take part in their annual Indigenous Games.
The event embraces the theme of Bridging the Gap – creating connections between city and rural communities, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, and the young and the old. It is a day dedicated to celebrating culture and fostering social harmony.
Students and teachers were divided into mixed groups to participate in sporting activities based on traditional Indigenous games from across Australia.
In addition to the Games, students enjoyed a variety of activities throughout the week, including exploring an opal mine, fossicking, perfecting their diving skills, admiring some of the local sights in Lightning Ridge, and relaxing in the famous artesian bore baths.
The PASS class will now share their knowledge of these games with their peers throughout the term. Students have been outstanding, embracing every activity with teamwork, resilience, and enthusiasm.
A huge thank you to Miss Gray for all her assistance in making the trip such a success.
