Promoting education on the Peninsula
Umina Public School participated in Naidoc Week activities held at Gosford Showground on Tuesday, July 8.
The day consisted of a number of stalls which offered services for aboriginal families, as well as cultural displays and football matches.
Umina Public School promoted education on the Peninsula along with other schools from its local management group.
"It was wonderful to see some of our families having a wander through and having fun," said Umina Public School Naidoc activity coordinator Ms Jo Bailie.
"One lovely surprise was watching the Mingaletta didgeridoo and dance group perform.
"Our very own, Keiran (Year 3) was amongst the boys that put on an excellent performance."
Umina Public School will celebrate Naidoc Week on Thursday, July 25.
Students will participate in Dreamtime stories, art and traditional indigenous games and are encouraged to wear red, yellow and black clothing on the day.
