Smiles with crocodiles
Year 11 Stars, Monica and Vanessa, spent their morning at Crocodylus Park as part of a workplace visit during their Stars contact time. This gave insight to how the park runs, the different jobs around the park and they even got to meet a cute friend ‘Fluffy’.
The girls were keen to watch how all the different jobs were performed and hear about the many opportunities involved with being a zookeeper/croc handler!
Stars were able to participate in the Stars NAIDOC Day at Jingili Watergardens. It was a day filled with lots of fun and mingling with other Stars programs from Darwin and Jabiru.
There were many activities to keep the girls busy ranging from scavenger hunts, trying native foods, water slide, weaving and painting!
It was a nice day to reflect on being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent and how we should celebrate this every day.
Stars also organised a lunch time NAIDOC disco for our Junior School students. This involved lots of fun games such as ‘Freeze’ and ‘Limbo’. Every student that entered the disco, went into the draw for a lucky door prize kindly donated by Chief Minister Eva Lawler, CLP Member for Spillet Lia Finocchiaro and MLA and Hon Mark Monaghan.
We thank everyone for joining in and participating to help celebrate HRS NAIDOC Week!
