GOOROON

WAMINDA

On Wednesday 5 March Aimee, Hayley & Wilinka from Waminda visited our Year 7 -10 girls to weave earrings and bangles from rafia. The girls learnt that weaving is a way to share knowledge, appreciate mindfulness while sitting and connecting with each other.
Aboriginal people used weaving as an important form of storytelling and central to Aboriginal peoples identity. Aunty Chris explained to the group that Aboriginals did not waste any resources and only took what was needed. The girls followed this tradition by gathering the unused rafia for next time.
All the girls enjoyed their time with Waminda & look forward to their next visit.
