A day that would not have been possible without the support from the Cunnamulla community.
Cunnamulla P-12 State School would like to acknowledge and thank the following individuals and community partnerships in their integral role in today's NAIDOC Celebrations:
* Julie Fox, our school CEC, for pulling another event off without a hitch (you can sleep well tonight, Julie!);
* Rhan Hooper and Nyarula Fogarty for sharing their cultural knowledge with the next generation over the last few days, as well as providing the atmosphere and entertainment for our opening ceremony;
* guest speakers Kerry Crumblin, Andrew Nelson and Mandy Fox, inspiring all with their passion;
* Cunnamulla Aboriginal Corporation for Health for providing much of the funding behind today's events, as well as the CACH team-members who educated, facilitated and cooked a 'deadly traditional feed' throughout the day;
* staff from Deadly Choices, South West Indigenous Network, Paroo Shire, and Stronger Families and Stronger Communities staff for facilitating today's events;
* Mums & Bubs and Women's Circle participants who ensured it was a family-wide event;
* the elders, families and other members of the community that celebrated and engaged with us today;
* school staff who ensured the smooth running of events, coordinated facilities (thanks Mr Perry!) and ran the Bean & Gone cafe (legends, Mrs Ramsay!);
