Students from Mortlake Public School enjoyed a memorable day of culture, connection and learning at the Koori Connections event on Thursday 7 May. Held at Alexandria Park Community School, the event brought together students from across the Strathfield Network to celebrate and explore Aboriginal heritage.

Throughout the day, students learned about native plants and discovered more about the Dhawaral language through hands-on activities and shared experiences. There was plenty of curiosity, conversation and teamwork as students connected with peers from other schools and deepened their understanding of culture and Country.

The day was a wonderful opportunity for students to learn from one another, celebrate identity and build stronger connections within the wider school community. We are proud of the way our students participated with enthusiasm, respect and a genuine willingness to learn.
