🌏🎨 Celebrating Indigenous Culture in Pre-Primary

Young Learners Discover the Richness of Indigenous Culture

Teaching Pre-Primary students about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their art and culture is an important part of building respect, understanding and appreciation from an early age.

As part of their learning, the Pre-Primary students at AIC Thornlie participated in hands-on art experiences inspired by Indigenous Australian culture. They created scratch art on boomerang shapes and explored dot painting techniques to recreate the colours and patterns of the Torres Strait Islander Flag. These activities provided students with an engaging opportunity to explore Indigenous art forms while learning about their cultural significance.

Through stories, artwork, symbols and hands-on experiences, children can begin to develop an understanding of Australia’s First Peoples and their deep connection to Country, community and culture. These experiences encourage curiosity, respect and a sense of belonging while helping young children appreciate the diverse cultures and histories that make Australia unique.

🏅🌏 Indigenous Culture Through Sport Carnival Day

Our Year 4 students from AIC Kewdale and AIC Forrestdale recently participated in the Indigenous Culture Through Sport Carnival Day.

Students had the opportunity to learn about Aboriginal culture through traditional Indigenous games and sporting activities throughout the term, before coming together to celebrate their learning at a carnival held at the AIC Forrestdale Campus.

A big thank you to Stephen Michael Foundation for organising this wonderful experience and supporting our students in connecting with culture through sport. 🤝✨

🎓✨ Exploring Pathways Beyond School

Recently, our Year 10 students at AIC Henley Brook welcomed representatives from South Metropolitan TAFE and Curtin University to learn about the exciting opportunities available after school.

Students explored a range of post-school pathways, including vocational education through TAFE and Curtin University's UniReady program, helping them make informed decisions about their future education and career goals.

Big dreams start with informed choices. Our Year 10 students were inspired by the UniReady and TAFE presenters, learning about the many pathways available for their journey ahead.

Hadith of the Week

Narrated Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari (رضي الله عنه), the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“The one who guides another to something good will have a reward like that of the one who does it.”

📖 Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1893

May Allah (SWT) grant us the ability to guide others towards goodness and reward us for every sincere act that inspires others to do the same. Ameen.

📚🚶 PPB – Thornlie Library Visit!

Our Pre-Primary B students at AIC Thornlie had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Thornlie Library and participate in an engaging story session.

The walk to the library provided a valuable real-world learning experience, allowing students to connect with their local community while reinforcing important road safety skills. Throughout the journey, students practised safe road-crossing procedures, discussed road safety rules, and developed their early numeracy and literacy skills by recognising and reading the numbers displayed on letterboxes.

At the library, the children enthusiastically listened to two stories read by the librarian, fostering a love of reading, developing their listening and comprehension skills, and encouraging their imagination. The visit concluded with a creative monster puppet craft activity, where students expressed their creativity and practised their fine motor skills.

Experiences such as visiting the local library help nurture a lifelong appreciation for books and literacy while promoting confidence, curiosity, and positive engagement with community learning spaces.
