Aboriginal student art project
An awards ceremony was held on Sunday, May 29, at Gosford Regional Gallery for Aboriginal Art Group, Nura, run by Brisbane Water Secondary College art teacher Ms Jo Brannigan.
Ms Brannigan worked with a number of indigenous students on a collaborative art project for Reconciliation Week which was exhibited at the Gallery from Friday, May 27.
"The students don't see this as a project.
"They see it as a fun activity that they can all do together with a focus on reconciliation and bringing people together," said Year 9 student Jaimi Coates.
The Nura group has a number of projects planned for the future including a bush tucker garden and a Koori Korner in the school grounds aimed at encouraging reconciliation.
