Bankstown Big Day of Learning 2024 | The Song Room

65 students and school community members came together to celebrate culture and connection at The Song Room’s ‘Weaving Yarns’ event, at Bankstown First Nations Hub. The Big Day of Learning was attended by Bass Hill Public School, Chester Hill North Public School, Chullora Public School, and Condell Park Public School.
We were truly privileged to learn from First Nations Elders and Teaching Artists, including Aunty Karleen Green, Lee Carr, Julie Gramatovski, Raphael Hatzipetrou, Koreena Leverett, Tristan Field and Colin Watego, who generously shared their culture and wisdom. A highlight of the day was a special appearance by Nathaniel Miller, Teaching Artist from Bulman School in Arnhem Land, NT, who recently won this year's ARIA Music Teacher award.
A huge thank you to our amazing supporters: The Smith Family Bankstown, facilitating partner of Communities for Children, funded by the Australian Government. ALPHA Shoes who generously provided vouchers for school shoes at Athlete’s Foot to every child. The JB Hi-Fi Helping Hands team for their incredible support, capturing imagery of the day and supporting The Song Room team.
